buyupside.com Price Direction Indicator (PDI) Calculator and Chart Maker

Savvy investors know that buying stocks on the upside is the way to make money. For lengthy upsides of several months to many years, the total return can be spectacular. That's why people buy stocks. Conversely, for an extended downside price series, most investors and traders lose money because most of the possible trades are unprofitable.
