If you could have only one indicator (not counting price and volume) to enter and exit, i.e. RSI(2), stochastic, MA crossover,bollinger band, Candle pattern, ect what would it be? I will start it off
Long term investments .............MA(26) crossing the MA(52). on daily and weekly chart.
Short term trade........................Ichimoku cloud on an hourly chart (sort of cheating since it uses multiple moving averages)

Long term investments: MA(10) crossing MA(16).
Shorter term investments: 10 day ema of ^ADVN crossing 10 day ema of ^DECN. Look here:
This is for market timing, rather than specific stocks. Note how when the oscillator value exceeds 1.0, markets take off.

Kevin,
That short term indicator is brilliant ..... how do you think it compares to the VIX divergence signal when its outside the (9,2) BB?

I thought folks might like this one ... to be honest, I stole some coding from Chetron and modified it for the advancing and declining stocks on the NYSE.
I want to combine this with market volume action as well. I had written another filter on up and down volume, that if combined with tis might be a neat market indicator system. If only we had advancing and declining volumes as well on SF, it would be easy.
I am tempted to use this one to trade the 2x/3x leveraged ETFs, based on how it swings.
Feel free to use, modify, or ignore as you see fit.

We can't get indices as OUTPUTS, but we can use them as inputs to create custom indicators or variables. The ind() function was new to me as well - I first saw Chet using it to draw the VIX with BBs as a separate plot a while back, then again a few days ago on another thread. That was what I needed to do this.

Kevin,

You tell me - I am using VXX as the ^VIX surrogate on this:
Looks like it might be a day or two later in calling an entry for long positions (look at 8/17 and 9/2 as examples), but avoids you getting burned on short calls. All in all, I'd use the BB as an alert, and the advance/decline ratio as a confirmation signal. Also looks like you can stay in the trade a little longer with the A/D ratio versus exiting at the cross of the 5 dayMA
