Dave,

You mention the relative strength/weakness of the NYSE breadth every day. Is there a convenient way to look back other than manually calculating the daily performance? I use TOS and I look at the daily index volumes but I can figure out how to set up a chart to show trends in breadth.

Thanks, James in MS
