David Russell
July 26, 2021

Traders can use tools like advance/decline lines, equal-weighted ETFs and other measures of index internals to judge participation in rallies. This can help anticipate potential turns in the broader market and assess the overall trend.

This video explains how investors can use market-breadth studies on the TradeStation platform. It includes detailed instructions on technical indicators, charting and our RadarScreen® tool. The lesson explains how to recognize when breadth improves, and which segments of the technology sector could resume leadership. A special customized workspace is available for download here.
