Post From: TRIN calculation and documentation definition

Can you please check that your software is applying the correct formula for the TRIN Market Statistics calculation.

For one thing I certainly believe the documentation INCORRECTLY describes the formula (Sierra Chart Market Statistics: Symbols).

Here are three external references for the formula which are all the same and are different to your documented formula:

http://stockcharts.com/school/doku.php?id=chart_school:technical_indicators:trin

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRIN_(finance)

http://www.investopedia.com/terms/a/arms.asp

So naturally I wondered that if the documentation is wrong, is the actual software formula also wrong as I am not getting plots for the S&P500 TRIN that you would expect for the price movement ie what these external 3 sites suggest TRIN should look like in certain market conditions.

Thanks
