Here is a bit of code to illustrate, using the IQFeed symbols for NYSE ADV and DECL:
adv = Foreign( "IINA.Z", "Close" ); dec = Foreign( "IIND.Z", "Close" ); ad = adv - dec ; Plot(ad,"adv", colorRed, styleLine ); --- In [email protected], "progster01" <progs...@...> wrote: > > Kevin, > > In general, if you want the intraday advance-decline line, you need to start > with a) the intraday advance line, and b) the intraday decline line. > > As mentioned, GetRTDataForeign() returns a number (not a line), and does so > in realtime (not historically). > > Probably your data provider offers symbols for ADV and DECL which will have > the historical intraday quotes. > > I recommend you find those symbols, make sure you can plot them, and then > work forward from there.
