But at -53 we are still a long ways from the bullish ZERO crossover. Remember, so long as the TSI is BELOW ZERO, any time the TSI falls, price is falling. ie to make it from -53 to ZERO without a single down day is somewhat unlikely.<br /><br />What is more likely to happen is what we saw at the end of this past January. As the TSI heads towards ZERO it has down days that pull it south, creating positive divergence(s).....which are then buy signals. <br /><br />My hunch is that the dollar is about done falling, but has not made a final bottom. The positive divergence created on Feb. 1 and 2 nicely identified the true bottom.John Townsendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13243755287314446656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2643613788950912206.post-75830492427250988122011-04-15T16:35:05.755-05:002011-04-15T16:35:05.755-05:00Am I reading something that is not there ?

I would like to bring to your attent...Mr Townsend,<br /><br />I would like to bring to your attention that your calculation of total return is in error. You have added up individual trade return as cummulative return. But that is not the actual total cummulative return of the portfolio.<br /><br />If I have $10,000, and I buy 10 stocks. If each stock makes 10%, I do not end up with 100% return. I would have 10% return on my $10,000, with each stock earning $100 (+10%). The only way I would have earned 100% is if I take the whole $10,000, buy 1 stock, make 10%, and repeat that 10 times. If I spread it out on 10 stocks, then I couldn't have made 100%.<br /><br />Likewise, the only way you could have made 600% is if you invest everything in one stock, pocket the gains, then move on to the next one, and then add up the result, and you would have 600%.<br /><br />But, checking your trades, you couldn't put everything into 1 stock at a time. You have multiple positions most of the time. So you have spread your portfolio across different stocks. With that, your portfolio returns need to be calculated on a weighted basis. The proper way to calculate the total portfolio returns would be to multiply each return by the % weight of asset you invested in that trade and then sum up the weighted returns of the trades.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />KennethSChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02805201920406487617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2643613788950912206.post-75490588928215671752011-04-12T21:19:00.556-05:002011-04-12T21:19:00.556-05:00Hi John,
