The Complete Guide to Market Breadth Indicators: How to Analyze and Evaluate Market Direction and Strength
$46.93
The Complete Guide to Market Breadth Indicators is a specialized technical analysis resource focused on one of the most underutilized yet powerful dimensions of market analysis: breadth. While most traders concentrate exclusively on price and volume of major indexes, Gregory L. Morris shifts attention to what is happening beneath the surface — participation, internal strength, and structural confirmation.
Market breadth indicators measure how many stocks are advancing versus declining, how momentum spreads across sectors, and whether rallies are supported by broad participation or driven by a narrow group of leaders. Morris explains how breadth often diverges from price before major turning points, providing early warnings of trend exhaustion or hidden accumulation.
The book methodically explores classic breadth tools such as Advance/Decline lines, McClellan Oscillator, new highs versus new lows, up/down volume ratios, and cumulative breadth measures. Rather than treating these indicators as isolated signals, Morris frames them within broader market structure — showing how breadth confirms or contradicts primary trend movement.
A key strength of this work is its analytical depth without unnecessary abstraction. Concepts are supported with historical examples and statistical observations, emphasizing application rather than theory. The reader learns not only how to calculate or interpret breadth indicators, but how to integrate them into structured trading or investment decision-making processes.
This book is not about predicting every swing. It is about evaluating market health — identifying whether a trend is structurally sound or internally fragile. For traders seeking a more complete market view beyond price alone, this text adds an essential analytical layer.

Clearly explains bredth indicators…Well organized and excellent summary chapter…I read in detail ones I was interested in…Use book mostly as a refrence though….Agree with other post that backtesting of each indicator would have made this a great book rather than good book.

Mr. Morris compactly covers every imaginable use of New Highs, New Lows, Up Volume, Down Volume, Advancing Issues and Declining Issues. All, that is, except the one his book inspired me to write.
Presented is the construction, how the originator of the idea envisions it use, Mr. Morris’ thoughts as a result of using or at least working with the indicator and a chart showing what you should expect to see. I found Mr. Morris’ remarks, cautious though they might have been, to be surprisingly useful.
If you don’t already know all there is to know about breadth indicators, you may well profit from this book. My only problem is how to write the code to turn a couple of the items presented in the book, along with my variation, into a system. That will require only time and effort and, I am sure will repay the time and capital I put into the book by several orders of magnitude.
