class=378100205-24032003>Mroman,
This
is a perfect use for addtocomposite. There is a tutorial in the help section
which will be time well spent but basically you create a composite ticker of the
closing price of each of the components by scanning a watchlist of those
component stocks. You would then use the foreign function to grab the DJI
data.......
<SPAN

scan
your watchlist with this....
<FONT
face=Arial>
AddToComposite(<FONT
color=#000000>C,<FONT
color=#ff00ff>"~mynewcomposite",<FONT
color=#ff00ff>"C")
then use
foreign to grab the data by exploring...<FONT
color=#282828><FONT
size=2>
x=Foreign("!DJI",C<FONT
color=#282828>);<FONT
face=Arial>
y=Foreign("~mynewcomposite","C"<FONT
color=#282828><FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial
size=2>);
AddColumn(y/x,"My
divisor");
In this example I
treated both the composite and the index as foreign but if you explore the
current ticker as one or the other than only one needs to be
foreign()

Using specific stock values in code for further
calculations????Hello,Trying to use specific
daily data for a given stock or index in AB database to make calculations
within my exploration, but it does not appear that AB is capable of this, at
least not by reviewing any of the help files that I have reviewed. For
example, if I wanted to write code which could sum the current price of each
stock in th DJI and then divide by the current DJI value, I should be able
to determine the daily divior. Therefore, I would need to write code
that makes AB return the price of each stock individually and then sum
these closing prices. In addition, I would need AB to return the current
value of the DJI index. I would not need to display these individual prices
in an exploration, only to varify that the values using are correct
data. Once the divisor is calculated I would then use it in further
calculations to determing market value. In short, how does one create a
variable that gives the value of each stock to sum?I hope this is
clear. If not please notify and I will try again.Thank you, Your help is
much appreciated.Send
