––––History & Credit
There are multiple methodologies that use Net New Highs for the NASDAQ or NYSE as a market direction indicator. Recently, I saw Matt Caruso to also apply such methodology, so I decided to code this indicator.
–––––What it does
👉 Plots a Net Change histogram. This shows New Highs - New Lows, if the histogram is above 0 this means there are more highs than lows
👉 Plots Background colouring. This is dependant on the sensitivity setting of the indicator. We would require a few days of downward action before concluding a downward action. Sensitivity can be adjusted in the menu
👉 Bot the Histogram and the Background colouring can be turned on and off (as per screenshot example)
–––––How to use it
You can use it to validate if the market conditions are ripe for entering a trade. For instance if you trade long, you would want to confirm with the indicator that general market is facilitating moves to the upside. IBD have mentioned more than once that a stock move is 50% due to the general market move.
