010 - Leo answered a listener's question. HERE are a couple pictures to go along with the explanation.
011 - Leo explained "on-balance volume," effectively a way of determining if "the trend is your friend."
012 - Leo discussed the p/e oscillator, a comparison of the price of a stock to its price/earnings ratio. See an Example HERE.
013 - Leo discussed "three-gap plays". See an Example HERE.
014 - Today, Leo discussed "gap analysis" noting that gaps occur in candlestick charting, when a stock jumps up and starts a new day well above its high point from the previous day.
015 - This week, Leo discussed "typical prices," sometimes called "pivot points." See what he is talking about HERE.
016 - This week, Leo discussed the volatility index, or VIX, as an indicator of when the market is reaching a low. See what he is talking about HERE.
017 - Leo discussed the Arms Index, a ratio that compares the top advancing or declining stocks to the volume of shares traded in those top winners or losers.
018 - Leo says the stock market appeared to show a "hammer" pattern a few weeks back, which he took as a technical signal that a bottom could be near.
019 - Leo discussed “ease of movement”, noting that this is a technical indicator that can show where thinly traded stocks can spike on little volume.
020 - Leo discussed "bullish beltholds," a technical pattern which he says confirms market trends
021 - Leo discussed a triangular pattern -- sometimes called a wedge or a pennant.
022 - Leo discussed stochastics, noting that stochastics -- particularly when combined with the MACD (moving average convergence/divergence) helps to show when the market is overbought or oversold.
