Leaders Index 7-11

[Jerry Samet]

The market was lower all day and the major averages were down about 1% on the day. A late rally erased a good part of the losses and the COMPQ closed down .5% while the New York averages were flat. Volume was lower across the board so there was no further distribution today. Leading stocks got hit harder than the overall market as the leaders index fell 1.99% on lower but still well above average volume. Although it closed well off it's lows the chart of the leaders index looks pretty bad. Two big red candles in a row are not a good sign and the index is now well below it's 17dma.In addition only 13 stocks in the IBD 50 were up on the day. Quality stocks are leading the market lower and that is rarely a positive sign. Jerry

Jerry; I am trying to learn the Market School exposure. We were at 75% from what I calculate. 2 FTD, one on 6/15 and the second on 6/29 for B1 and B2. B3 index low > 21 ema on 6/18.
7/11 S1 close < 2nd FTD low 2895.60. S5 close < 21 ema.
This should bring exposure to 30%. A close < 6/15/12 FTD low at 2837.94 would bring us to 0 exposure.
Is this correct?

Thank you in advance.

Robert, I didn't see your reply until today. The exposure count is now zero due to a full distribution count and a zero score. The buy switch is now off.
