It’s Broward county all over again and the hanging chads No clear winner in the Zweig Breadth Thrust $Study

Wow, we were there then we weren’t then we were then we weren’t.  Recall that we need 61.5 NYSE advancing percentage 10 day EMA to generate a Zweig Breadth Reversal Thrust (ZBTR) signal.  We have not had one since March 2009 which was the starting gun for the two year rally.  They are rare, very rare.

 

I have done most of my research on this signal using the TradeStation NYSE data and on Friday it closed like this:

No matter how many times I hit Ctrl-R to refresh the data,  I cannot get it to reach that 61.5 level.

On FreeStockCharts.com, they have the ZBT looking like this:  A value of 62.13 which clearly is a hit.

My NinjaTrader/Kinetick data looks like this: 61.99 another winner.

So if we vote the answer is YES, we did get out ZBTR.  My problem with the Kinetick data is it also gave us a ZBTR on the March Reversal of this year:

Which nether Worden nor TradeStation awarded.

I am really hoping that Monday, since we have one more day in the window, we can get TradeStation up and over and then the historians can argue about the day.  I just want my simulations to work!  So I am waiting one more day, expecting some strength on Monday to get alignment.
