If I understand correctly, how about something along the lines of the following
for the visible bars using paramstr() (don't think I left anything out but
modify to do what you want):
status("barvisible"); //all have to have at least as many bars as base or
reduce time (# bars)
firstvisbar = status("firstvisiblebar");
list = paramstr("list", ^xau, ^gld, nem, ... );
plot(100 * (c - c[firstvisbar])/c[firstvisbar], name(), colorwhite);
for(i = 0, (symbol = strextract(list, i) != "", i++)
{
forsym = foreign(symbol, "C");
if(! isnull(forsym[0]))
{
plot(100 * (forsym - forsym[firstvisbar]) .....
}
}

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...

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!
Louis
