Market Indicator Dictionary
Market Indicators (as opposed to “technical” indicators) are index symbols that contain calculated values which measure the health of a specified group of stocks. An example of a market indicator is the NYSE New 52-Week Highs Index ($NYHGH), which contains daily totals of NYSE-traded stocks that have set a new 52-week high as of the specified date.
