Market Indicators

A series of technical indicators used by traders to predict the faces of the major financial indexes. Most market indicators are created by analyzing the number of companies that have reached new highs relative to the number that created new lows, also known as market breadth.  A general outlook on the market’s direction is useful for traders looking for strength in individual interest because they ensure that the broader market forces are working in their favor.

Market indicators typically analyze the stock market, although they can be used for other markets
(e.g., futures).While the data fields available for an individual security are limited to its open, high, low, close, volume (see page ), and financial reports, there are numerous data items available for the overall stock market. For example, the number
of stocks that made new highs for the day, the number of stocks that increased in price, the volume associated with the
stocks that increased in price, etc. Market indicators cannot be calculated for an individual security because the required data is not available.
