Maybe I need to use another function to get the ^DJI value? Waldemar Rooijer IT Solutions N.V. Dr. M.J.

To see the value you have to display it, for example, in a chart using the code below. You can see the value for any date in the title by clicking the plot at that date: If you have ^DJI loaded then chart Plot( ROC( C, 2 ), "ROC(2)", colorRed ); or if you have another symbol loaded then chart Plot( ROC( Foreign( "^DJI", "Close" ), 2 ), "ForROC(2)", colorWhite ); ----- Original Message ----- From: Waldemar Rooijer To: [email protected] Sent: May 03, 2010 11:16 AM Subject: RE: [amibroker] Slow of the close of ^DJI Wavemechanic you mean I can use somethink like; Wdji1 = Foreign(^DJI, "Close") and then Wdji2 = ROC(Wdji,2) When I try that I don'r get any value listed for Wdji2. I don'r receive error in the code though Waldemar Rooijer IT Solutions N.V. Dr. M.J.
