This is the other frequently asked question we get, and the answer once again is NO. The 'Inter Market Strength' indicator is one of numerous 'trading systems' peddled by Shiraz Lakhi and we are nothing to do with him or his various websites.

There has been some speculation recently about which came first - the dowstomper indicator was first published on traders101 back in 2003, and has since been moved to this dedicated site for bandwidth reasons (yes, it's THAT popular!). As a simple, popular, free system, it was inevitable that other people would try to cash in on it's reliability. The original version of the DowStomper used a simple A/D ratio formula developed by J Livermore - this formula has since been refined to take account of strongly trending periods, when the original version tended to produce weak signals.

We have not had sight (or 'insight'!!) of the method used to calculate the insght.net 'inter market strength' indicator, and we would suggest if you want to know how it is calculated, you contact insight.net directly
