The S&P 500 - 10-bar moving average return is a market indicator that calculates, each trading day, the 10-bar moving average of each stock that composes the S&P 500 Index. The 10-bar return is then computed for each MA and the results are averaged.
The composite name is "_S&P500_AVGMA". It is added to your list of symbols after the first calculation.
Interpretation:
An increasing value tells us that the average percentage return of S&P 500 stocks MAs is also increasing. This may look like a bullish signal but keep in mind that because of the moving average, this indicator tends to lag S&P index price changes. You may want instead use divergences or extreme values in your market timing trading system.
The S&P 500 market indicator looks like this:
The S&P 500 list of stocks was hard coded within the symbols filter of the composite item. Alternatively, you can use the "Symbol -> Auto Manage Symbols" tool to automatically associate indices data with your stocks and then use the "Index -> SPX" filter in the symbols control of the composite. Unlike the S&P 500 static list, this will allow the composite to get the new (if available) S&P 500 list automatically before starting the calculation.
Trading financial instruments, including foreign exchange on margin, carries a high level of risk and is not suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest in financial instruments or foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with trading and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
