I don't know what that PMO is based on but may be a function of the market being led to new highs by only the generals a handful of large weighted stocks, with many small names not participating. But again you have to investigate to see how that is calculated

    You know what, I can't even find anything about how !PMOBUYALL is calculated. All I can gather from it's name - ALL INDEX % PMO Xover BUY Signals is that it shows the percentage of indexes that are on PMO buy signals. But which indexes and how many, who knows?

    Here is the definition of PMOBUYALL they got back to me with: Ticker symbol PMOBUYALL is the percentage of selected broad indexes and ETFs that are on a  PMO Buy signal. The PMO signal changes for an index when the PMO value  has passed through the 10-day EMA of the PMO

    Also, they gave me the link to the page that describes the PMO oscillator. It was developed by the Decision Point folks...

    no actually I consider a buy signal early like Tuesday on the solid strong candle up day vs waiting for the laggy PMO to finally move its ass - that's been part of my rules for a long time, when the PMO is at zero but price is oversold and you get a solid strong up day, you can consider going long early, see the rules on the chart - been there for a few years

    anyway the situation you have now kind of reminds me like what teh indicator did in early Feb when where the PMO finally rallied off zero but the market had rallied to new highs - then the market rallied further and some some sort of wave 3 or 5 a few weeks later before another correction

    my point is when the market is in an uptrend - and the market has pulled back and the PMO is at zero - waiting for the PMO to finally respond is just too darn late - that's why I added that large up candle rule because you are following price action vs only using a laggy indicator.  And I wouldn't bother using this for entries anyway, best to use your other triggers, it's why I rarely show this indicator

    That all makes a lot

    That all makes a lot of sense. I remember seeing that black candle on Tuesday night and wondering if it qualified as an up candle. This discussion helps me understand the indicator better. Thanks for that!
