Here is a screenshot 
of a concept I am working on in Amibroker.
<SPAN

The bottom panel has 
a red line and a green line. They are:
<SPAN 
class=268242003-05032003> 
Red  
-   DJX--X   an index that is 1/100 of the DJIA. 

Green - 
TYX--X   CBOE 30 yr treasury bond yield index
<SPAN 
class=268242003-05032003> 
You can see that the 
bond yield is much less volatile than the Dow.
<SPAN 
class=268242003-05032003> 
When the Dow is 
trending down, would it be good to move to bonds, until the relationship between 
the two reverses and the Dow again outperforms the bonds?
<SPAN

The top panel is a 
ratio line of the two indexes. It does seem to be true that when the Dow is 
declining with more momentum than the bond yield, the ratio line reflects 
this.
<SPAN 
class=268242003-05032003> 
The yellow line 
shows a recent trend of the ratio that seems to indicate the Dow had been 
performing well. This trend line was recently broken as the Dow turned down and 
bond yield remained relatively flatter.

Often, what has 
seemed apparent to me as an assumption proved to be totally flawed. I seek 
comments on this idea of using ratio lines to compare instruments. The use of 
ratio lines is demonstrated in Murphy's book The Visual 
Investor.
