Okay, quick question about market internals for the indexes. Is there really any edge on watching market internals? I mean, can't one just learn pure price action and volume analysis? I feel like watching internals along with charts, is almost giving me analysis paralysis. If anyone has experience in this field any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks in adavance
Here is my take on market internals JWhite. A number of years ago, I used to plot a chart of the weighted sum of market internals (consisting of the following indices: biotech, software,hardware,financi als,semiconductors, Dow,S&P,Nasdaq,Russell). I was under the impression that if I watched the rest of the market, I could get a jump on whatever else I was trading. Net result was zip. Sometimes the internals would lead, sometimes they would lag, sometimes they would move in the opposite direction. I don't follow market internals any longer, but just use the market statistics of what I'm trading to decide entry and exits.
