Pasta boss, a few weeks ago you had talked about using advance decline lines for the sectors, i.e. $xlfadp for the financials. Were you able to get anywhere with that study? I think all of SPDR sector funds have them in sockcharts... Thx! T

I thought I would give a heads up.
Look at 2 years ago this time (match Aug 19 2017 to Aug 17 2015 )
See what happened in the S&P next weekend
Educational only and not trading advice (EO&NTA) :)
