Hi, Thanks for your help! I scanned the whole user guide but I think I am missing some insight on this. The guide explains how to use the relativestrength or foreign, but I just didn't see any example how to actually assign a variable for BOTH the marketid and the industry or sector. I have no trouble assigning a variable to the base index, but I just can't use both industry/sector and base index at the same time. That's why I was wondering if anybody knew how to do this and could show me an example of how to do it. Thanks!
