I noticed that the yahoo mailer added a Return character after the link that I provided, so thats why it appears to be nonfunctional. You can just add l#BPI to the end of the link to get to the correct web-page. Heres the link again:
http://www.stockcharts.com/education/IndicatorAnalysis/marketindicators1.htm l#BPI The link that James provided has an excellent explanation of the index, but the link above also has info on the Stocks Above X Day Average indices. Fortunately the indicator has been around long before John Dorsey has been alive, so its not propriety its just doesnt appear to be readily available.

The Bullish Percent Index (BPI) is unrelated to the X day average index. If you review the link that I provided it specifies how the index is calculated basically its the percent of symbols that are currently exhibiting a Point and Figure chart buy signal. Im really interested in obtaining the historical data because it would be quite difficult to reproduce. I have found the BPI to be an excellent indicator for identifying market extremes that are not always apparent when looking at the more common indicators like the VIX, Put/Call ratio and New Highs/Lows.

This chart shows the % of stocks in the internet sector trading above the 50 DMA. I use this to determine Bullish % above the 50 DMA. The blue line in the top window is the % of stocks above the 50 DMA, and the red line is a 21 day moving average of the 50 DMA.

This data set would be a very useful additional to QuotePlus. I realize that I could probably calculate the indices myself, but generating the historical data would be a lot of work considering how many changes have been made to the indices over the years.
