XXXtreme

So every few weeks a new selloff emerges that attempts to one-up the previous selloff. I showed some tables with incredible extreme conditions on 10/9 and 10/27. And now I present…contestant #3.



Also notable is that the CBI popped up to 13 today.

The top 3 breadth stats come from Worden Bros. TC2000.

P.S. Traders may want to take a look at the charts following the previous two extreme posts.

How do you calculate true range and is that simple moving average or exponential?

Really enjoy reading your blog.

PCP -

Thanks. All averages are simple unless I specify them as exponential. I use simple more often.

True range for SPX is not as accurate as for SPY becasue the chart is basically gapless. If a gap does show, then it is included in the calculation.
