DOW JONES INDEXES INTRODUCES NEW COUNTRY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM
Dow Jones Indexes announced that it now had a new country classification system that will apply to all countries covered in its major index families. Countries included in the indexes will be researched and assessed according to a predefined framework built around the needs of international portfolio investors in three broad categories: market and regulatory structure, trading environment, and operational efficiency. Assessments of the countries will be monitored on an ongoing basis. A public announcement of classification changes, if any, will be made in September of each year with a minimum of six months’ notice.

BACK TO LISTTREND CHANGE SOFTWARE BASED ON WYCKOFF WORK
TriggerPoint Trading software helps individuals identify market trends through springs and upthrusts, and users can trade faster than by using the indicators as a guide, the developer said. The software, which is based on the work of chartist Richard D. Wyckoff, decreases the barriers that individuals encounter when trying to understand how the market works. The goal is to help traders make better and easier trading decisions by letting the color-coded indicators do the work. The software identifies two trade setups for identifying when the market/trading instrument has hit support and can rally up (buying opportunity), and when the market/trading instrument has hit resistance and about to drop (selling or shorting opportunity).
