Nasdaq Performance on the Last Day of the Year
A subscriber inquiry brought this changing tendency to my attention and led me to investigate further. Below we see the last day of the year performance for the Nasdaq Composite.
In this blog I will be examining market action and quantifying my findings. Using sentiment, breadth, price and volume indicators - both standard and customized - I will try and uncover short-term edges which could be taken advantage of by market participants. I will frequently add opinion to these studies and may sometimes post opinions without quantifiable research behind them.

I have traded professionally since 2001. From January 2003 through February 2007 my bi-weekly column "Rob Hanna's Putting It All Together" appeared on TradingMarkets.com. I have been conducting quantitative research and designing trading systems - mostly focused on short-term edges since 2004.

Interesting. Your result corresponds exactly with the introduction of the QQQs (or QQQQs).
