Hi,
Hmm... Maybe I am not clear enough, or what I am saying is confusing. I
will try to explain it another way.
Right now when I choose a stock, I can decide the market, the industry, and
the sector. As an example, AA is in the NYSE and I chose the composite
index indu.x for that market. And YHOO is in the Nasdaq and I chose
comp.xfor the Nasdaq. I have absolutely no problem getting those
index and do
whatever I need I have to do with them. My problem is that I can't get the
industry or sector index. Per example, AEM is in NYSE but I want to compare
DJI with GLD along with the stock. Right now I can't do it. I can get the
base market index, but not the industry index.
I already wrote this code
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)) ;
and what I need is a way to get a variable (let's say fc1... or ticker1)
that would represent the sector/industry index already linked to the stock.
So all I need is a way to get to that industry/sector index to be able to
assign it to a variable and then use that variable and write, as an example:
ticker1= ( 100 * ( fc1 - Ref( fc1, -10 ))/Ref (fc1,-10)) ;
I don't understand how to get both the market index and the sector/industry
index.
Thank you very much for helping me with this issue. I am still learning
(got a long way to go) but reading you guys sure helps me.
Louis
