Technical Indicator
The Trading Index (ARMS Index) measures how much volume it takes to move stocks higher vs. lower and is constructed by dividing the advance/decline ratio by the up/down volume ratio.

  • A lower (more importantly decreasing trend) value indicates that buyers or spending more money to keep stock rising than sellers of declining stocks are receiving.
    • This is bearish and may foretell a recent or  approaching market top
  • The index typically hovers around 1.00
