Some people think that today's chart is good enough to use as a trading model. While many others use it in conjunction with their trading models or signals.
What chart are we talking about? It is the chart that shows the daily Buying and Selling action of Institutional Investors.
Why do so many investors use this chart in conjunction with their trading?
Because they have learned that the odds on any trade are against them "if they place any trade that is in the opposite direction to what Institutional Investors are doing".
Are they right on wrong on that assessment?
You decide for yourself ... the chart is below and it shows the daily Institutional Buying and Selling activity going back to last June.
How to read the chart: Actually it is quite simple. The blue line represents the daily amount of Buying by Institutions. If it is above the red line, then it means that Institutions are doing more Buying than Selling and they are therefore in Accumulation.
When the red Selling line is above the blue line, the opposite is true and Institutional Investors are in Distribution.
