Why Multiple SPX (S & P 500, http://stockcharts.com/freecharts/gallery.html?s=spx) Lead Indicators Are Highly Useful, see the five day intra day SPX versus the Euro ETF FXE, Financials/DJUSFN, Walmart/WMT, and QQQQ/NASDAQ 100 ETF at http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ta?s=^GSPC&t=5d&l=off&z=l&q=c&p=&a=fs,p12,fs,w14&c=fxe,^djusfn,wmt,qqqq.
On Friday my day trade (UltraLong Basic Materials ETF UYM, I made slightly over 9 cents/share) was riskier than I realized (the day trade was longer than expected, and didn't act/feel right), because, the QQQQ/NASDAQ 100 ETF was dramatically underperforming SPX (S & P 500, http://stockcharts.com/freecharts/gallery.html?s=spx). I didn't realize when I entered the day trade how much NDX/NASDAQ 100 was underperforming SPX/S & P 500.
By adding the Financials/DJUSFN sector and QQQQ/NASDAQ 100 ETF as Lead Indicators to the current Euro ETF FXE and Walmart/WMT (XOI/Energy should be checked from time to time, I don't want too many Lead Indicators at any one time) I'll have a better idea of the risk involved in my trades for any given cycle timeframe, and, the extra Lead Indicators should also tend to improve my market timing assessments for every cycle timeframe.
For example, the modestly bearish five day Financials/DJUSFN and very bearish QQQQ Lead Indicators probably point to early SPX weakness on Monday, while the extremely bullish Euro ETF FXE and Walmart/WMT Lead Indicators point to strength after likely early weakness (short term extremely bullish indications tend to point to early weakness followed by strength anyway, because, the fact that an indicator became extremely bullish means that an index wasn't responding to a previously very bullish indication), see http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ta?s=^GSPC&t=5d&l=off&z=l&q=c&p=&a=fs,p12,fs,w14&c=fxe,^djusfn,wmt,qqqq.
