So it looks suspiciously like Google only show on market traded volume and that Yahoo volume data is totally screwed (pardon my French).
Better ask them what they actual represent on their charts.
And why are we discussing this on the entry and exit thread, anyway?

Paper Tiger... Im just trying to clarify for myself the charting/ fundamentals issues with trading. If I cant get an accurate overview of the situation then I am well and truely behind the 8 ball so to speak . I realise Google/Yahoo etc are a "Free Service" but quality standards still should be maintained.
The deeper I look the more areas of concern there are to look at. Dark pools, broker alliances, HFT traders and access to "Personal data". where does it end?
looking like time to play this like it really is.. a casino.
Hey KW, thanks heaps for this thread its been incredibly informative and has helped me write, and stick to, some rules for myself ... as painful as they have been to impliment. Why selling is so hard even when all the evidence points to getting out I just don't know.
Anyhoo.
I was just wondering what your success rate looks like using the EMA50 crossing EMA200 (on the up-trend) as opposed to other indicators. I imagine by this point they've established a pretty solid trend. So I'm wondering, although you've missed the initial gains, you've likely caught stability at this point (which is more what I (like yourself) would be more comfortable riding), so how many under your system buck the trend and turn around again (downwards)?
Thanks :)
In an unrelated issue with Telecom/Yahoo I found Yahoo to be the most unhelpful organisation I have ever dealt with(in recent memory). Pack of arseholes was my feeling after three emails from three different people with no way to contact them (no personal emails) no helpful information provided to my problem. Spark needs to ditch these turkeys asap and find someone else.
Disclaimer my lack of understanding of the web and frustration may have already soured the situation but I found Yahoo to be most unhelpful.
To follow on from that.
Hoop, which charting software do you use?
The anz securities charts are 30day and 100day ma --Is there a way to adjust them to 50 ma and 200ma or is it better to go to another charting service
If you go to Charts and then Super Charts you can change the intervals
Bad news though. Both 50 and 200 not a selection. Need 30 or 90 and 180 as closest selections
Funny on the interactive charts on nzx site you can choose 50 and 200 ....bad not at the same time. They trying to protect you from Death Crosses
Stockness will give you 60 and 180 on same chart
Yes ,I saw that.
Its interesting that most of the chart savy investors prefer the 50-200 and anz(direct broking)dont even give the choice:confused:
How broken is Yahoo finance data for long trends?
Its what I've been using as it seems to have most straightforward tools to chuck over the top of the data, without paying for a service.
