VV does not use the weighted average price of the industry over 2 quarters as does IBD/DGO or QP2/HGS to determine industry rank. They instead use a proprietary technical ranking known as Relative Timing (RT) to determine the industry rank. RT is simply the relationship of the price to the 13 week EMA. If price is at the 13 wk EMA, RT=1. The further the price is stretched above the 13 wk EMA, the closer RT is to 2. The further it is stretched below, the closer RT is to 0. VV then takes the RT of all stocks in the industry and averages them to come up with the industry RT. Industries are then sorted from highest to lowest and ranked accordingly. That means it is a faster measure of industry movement than the IBD's version. It also doesn't suffer from the pricing averaging problem. On the other hand, it has it's own quirks and drawbacks. Overall, the VV industries are very closely matched with IBD's, so that is very helpful. You just have to know what you're looking at when you use their rankings as they will be considerably different than IBD's. Katherine PS QP2= Quotes Plus (a bare bones data/graphing package.

Unfortunately, it's not organized as a spreadsheet or equivalent, so is just a way to get the information in a more timely fashion, but otherwise no different in form. In order to see the industry movement you mention within the IBD products, you have to have a basic subscription to DGO (about $700 per year) and then have to ADD their industry group feature on top of that (an additional $200/yr). The most cost effective way to see the movement in industries is to subscribe to the QP2/HGS combo. Their industries are essentially equivalent to the DGO industries and they provide far more analysis tools than does DGO itself. And just to be complete, we have the ability to see stocks within industry at our own site (cwhcharts.com) and are completing the testing on additional industry analysis tools which will be available soon as an additional feature within our core product offering. Beyond that, you're somewhat at the mercy of free sites and their various tools for industry status and movement. For example BigCharts has an industry page where they show the %price change for each industry over several periods. I think it all depends on exactly how you wish to use the information, how much time you have, and how much money you're willing to spend to make the trade-off between time, money and analysis tools.
