This is one of the most frequently asked questions we get, and the answer is NO. Insight.net is owned and operated by Shiraz Lakhi and we are nothing to do with him or his numerous indicators.

The dowstomper indicator was originally published on traders101 way back in 2003, and has since been moved to this dedicated site for bandwidth reasons (yes, it's THAT popular!).

The methodology used to calculate the dowstomper indicator is fairly straightforward, and is based on the A/D ratio, but we have agreed to remove the documentation at traders101's request due to other people trying to exploit it for financial gain, and even funnier, claiming to have 'invented' it.

We are not privy to the method used to calculate the insght.net 'inter market strength' indicator, although it does indeed look to us to be a variation on the dowstomper methodology (a bad variation, we would say, looking at the recent profitable trades the insight.net system has missed).

Hopefully that answers your question!
