The index has been most commonly referred to as "TRIN"; however, today the index appears as "ARMS" on mostquotation systems.The Arms index has changed the way technical analysts perceive the market. In discovering that stock price changes are a function of volume, Arms has made a significant impact on investors' attitudes toward the stock market.In addition to describing the relationships between price and volume, The Arms Index (TRIN) gives a large number of applications the index-and offers specific analytic methods forthe day trader as well as the long-term investor. While the Arms Index was originally applied to New York Stock Exchange data, Arms includes, for the first time:* Arms indices for the over-the-counter market* Arms indices for the American Stock Exchange* the Giant Arms-a combined index for OTC and AMEX* the Bond Arms Index so you can ultimately forecast interest rates.With more than 25 years of experience in the investment business, Richard W.
