Are these items discussed in Stan's book? Can't seem to find them.

Chapter 8 discusses the major breadth measures that the method uses. i.e. the Advance Decline, New High New Lows etc. Whereas the moving average breadth measures are the closest thing that retail traders have to the proprietary NYSE Stages Survey (page 77) that is done in the monthly Global Trend Alert that Weinstein's firm produces, and he has said in the past that it's around 75-80% in line with it.

Market Breadth is a major part of Weinstein's method, and over 50 different technical measures are used in his research to make up the "Weight of Evidence". So if you aren't using the market breadth, then you are not properly following the method, as it's a critical component of it and in my opinion the single most important part of it for determining the market stages and timing.
