Market Gauge is a flexible tool that displays widely accepted
market indicators along with proprietary indicators to give you a
graphic panorama of information. In addition, the indicators are
carefully "weighted" through the use of unique gauges, to
provide the user with an immediate view of the market's current
condition and trend. In a glance you get a balanced
"snapshot" of the driving factors that can help to assess
the "why" of recent market activity and guide you to
"what's next" with confidence.
