Hi,
I am using DTN.
Whatever the other source, that was only an example. I want to compare a
base index (Dow Jones, Nasdaq, etc.) with a sector/industry index (XAU, GLD,
etc.) and with the actual stock.
I am already able to compare the stock with the base index
(with the following formla:
Ticker = GetBaseIndex(); // plot industry, need to create composite
sectors
TickerName = IndustryID(1);
TickerClose = Foreign( Ticker, "close" );
for( i = 0; ( symbol = StrExtract( Ticker, i ) ) != ""; i++ )
{
fc = Foreign( ticker, "C" );
}
PlotGrid( 0, colorYellow );
_N( Title = "{{NAME}} - Relative Performance [%]: {{VALUES}}" );
ticker= ( 100 * ( fc - Ref( fc, -10 ))/Ref (fc,-10)) ;
Current= ( 100 * ( C - Ref (Close, -10) ) / Ref (Close, -10)) ;
)
but for some reasons I just don't know how to add a sector index to the
thing so I can get a third graph...
