STIX stock market indicator

By   www.marketvolume.com

STIX indicator is the short-term index measuring the portion of the advancing stocks in the total number of the stocks listed in a market index. The STIX indicator is used in technical analysis to reveal overbought and oversold level on the market (when applied to Exchanges) and market sectors (when applied to market indexes).

Description
The STIX (Short Term Index) was first time mentioned by Picton Davies in his "The Polymetric Report Stix Record Book" in 1985. It is based on comparison of the number of advancing and declining stocks.

Traditionally, STIX based on the Exponential Moving Average with 21-bar period setting applied to the advance decline issues ratio and it oscillates in the range from 0 to 100. On our index charts you may have custom EMA applied to the Advance/decline ratio.

Technical Analysis, Signals and Trading Systems
In technical analysis the STIX index is used to determine the overbought and oversold condition on Exchanges and on market sectors covered by indexes. According to the "Polymetric Report" when EMA with 21-bar period setting is used

• Most of the time the STIX indicator moves in the rage between 42 and 58;
• When the STIX indicator drops below 42 level it could be an indication of oversold market and it could be used as a signal to buy (except it is ranging Bear Market);
• The market is considered overbought when the STIX indicator raises above 56 (unless it is a new Bull Market);
• The market is considered strongly overbought and a "Sell" signal could be generated when the STIX indicator moves above 58 level (again, unless it is a new Bull Market).

In general the STIX readings could be put into the following overbought/oversold table (bear in mind that this is for the STIX with 21 bar period setting):

Overbought / Oversold Condition	STIX(21) Values
Extremely Overbought	greater than 58
Fairly Overbought	greater than 56
Fairly Oversold	less than 45
Extremely Oversold	less than 42

Update: Similarities 1929, 1987, 2018

Two posts have been made showing the similarities between 1929, 1987 & 2018.
They were posted on Feb. 21,2018 and March 5,2018.
Some similarities still appear in the DJIA daily charts as shown below.
A blue box highlights the TD (trading days) from the ATH to the lower high before the waterfall slide in 1929 & 1987.  A blue box also is included in the 2018 chart that displays a similar price pattern, so far.
After the blue box in 1929 & 1987 the previous lows were broken and this led to a very bearish pattern.  If the recent lows in 2018 get violated, watch out for a "possible" bearish price pattern.
This pattern has been playing out since Feb.21,2018 and should continue to be watched very carefully.
This is not a guarantee that it will occur again.
But it should be watched just in case.

 

Some similarities:
1- Since the ATH price trades below the moving average
2- The moving average has a negative slope
3- The histogram is negative
4- The TD in 1929 (28 TD) & 1987 (27 TD) are similar from the ATH to the lower high before the slide
5- The TD in 2018 is also very similar (30 TD)

* BUT, price in 2018 is still trading above the recent lows. 
Price MUST hold above the recent lows in order to invalidate a bearish scenario.

Watch this chart carefully.

Update: Similarities 1929, 1987, 2018

On February 21,2018 there is a post - charts: Similarities, 1929, 1987, 2018
Since the post on Feb 21st the 3 periods are still very similar.
Today the stock market rallied about 1.37% in the DJIA
So it required a look back at 1929 & 1987 to see if those periods experienced any big rally days from the ATH made and before the waterfall slide into the crash day.

Before reading the data below, it would be insightful to first take a look at the charts in the February 21st post.
If you need it, here is the link
https://justsignals.blogspot.com/2018/02/charts-similarities-1929-1987-2018.html

So, now look at the findings below.

1987
Between the high on 8/25/1987 and the lower high on 10/2/1987, before the water fall slide into the crash day, there were several big rally days just like the one we had today and some bigger.

8/31/87   +0.89%
9/10/87   +1.05%
9/11/87   +1.27%
9/22/87   +3.02% *To try and convince the Bulls that this is not a Bear market
9/28/87   +1.22%
10/1/87   +1.65% - The day before the lower high made on 10/2/87 and before the water fall slide into the crash day

After 10/2/87

10/13/87   +1.49%

Then:

10/14/87    -3.81%
10/15/87    -2.39%
10/16/87    -4.60%
10/19/87  -22.61%   Black Monday

1929
Between the high on 9/3/1929 and the lower high on 10/11/1929, before the water fall slide into the crash day, there were several big rally days just like the one we had today and some bigger.

9/6/29      +1.76%
9/11/29    +0.98%
9/16/29    +1.50%
9/26/29    +0.94%
10/7/29    +6.30% *To try and convince the Bulls that this is not a Bear market
10/10/29  +1.79% - The day before the lower high made on 10/2/87 and before the water fall slide

After 10/11/29

10/17/29   +1.73%
10/22/29   +1.75%

Then:

10/23/29   -6.31%
10/24/29   -2.09% Black Thursday with big intra-day low
10/25/29   +0.57%
10/28/29  -13.48%
10/29/29  -11.70% Black Tuesday

Comments
8/25/87 to 10/2/87 is 27 TD (trading days)
9/3/29 to 10/11/29 is 28 TD

"IF" 2018 is similar to 1929 & 1987, and it may be and it may not be, then 28 TD from the ATH on 1/26/2018 is 3/8/2018.   This date would represent "the lower high before the water fall slide into the crash day".   So 3/8/2018 would compare to 10/2/1987 & 10/11/1929, "IF" and only "IF" the 2018  pattern continues to be similar to 1929 & 1987.

1-It may continue to be similar
2-It may only be a shallow correction and not a crash
3-It may stop it's similarity and do something else

Keep an eye on it!
