About this ebook
Your stocks rise and drop in tune with the general trend of the market. A rising tide will lift all the boats just as surely as a falling tide will smash them against the rocks. The New High – New Low Index is the best leading indicator of market tides. Learning to read its messages will help you become a better investor and trader.
The New Highs are the stocks rising to a new yearly high on any given day. These are the strongest stocks on the exchange, the leaders in strength. The New Lows are the stocks that fall to a new yearly low on any given day. These are the weakest stocks on the exchange, the leaders in weakness. The New High – New Low Index (NH-NL) tracks the balance of power between the two groups.
This ground-breaking book will teach you to use NH-NL in your decision-making. Its chapters include:
Basic definitions

The Daily NH-NL: Confirmations, Divergences
