hi billy,

thanks very much for your interesting post.

how do you calculate the correlation score?

Is the Accumulation/Distribution % score calculated as 2*%A + %B -%D -2*%E from the MS values excluding ETFs?

For the IBD score, I compute the correlation coefficient with IWM for each % X IBD rating. Then the IBD correlation score is the sum of (correlation coefficient times % X rating ).
Same process with the daily stages where the % X ratings are replaced by the % of stocks in each substage.
Then I compute the correlation coefficient with IWM of the IBD and Stages correlation scores.
The final composite score is weighted by the correlation coefficients times correlation scores.

How many days do you use for calculation of correlation coefficient?
a running number like the last 20 days or all available from start of your data til calculation day?

I use all available past data and update the coefficients at least once a week.
