I have looking to use comparitve relative strength indicator that is 
given in AB, for example, RelStrength( "^DJI",fixup=1).  As of now I 
perform an exploration that returns and desired number of stocks 
meeting my criteria. To see what values RS gives me, I include the 
following index:

AddColumn(RelStrength( "^DJI",fixup=1),"RS/DJI",1.2);
AddColumn(RelStrength( "^SPX",fixup=1),"RS/SPX",1.2);
AddColumn(RelStrength( "comp",fixup=1),"RS/COMP",1.2);
AddColumn(RelStrength( "NDX",fixup=1),"RS/NDX",1.2);
AddColumn(RelStrength( "qqq",fixup=1),"RS/QQQ",1.2);

I expected the values returned would be similar for COMP, NDX, and 
QQQ as these % returns are similar.  However, the numbers are quite 
different.  Not know exactly how RS formula is determined and how to 
interpret such returned numbers becomes difficult to get any use 
from this indicator.  I am thinking that some how these values can 
be reported so that the comparison of a given stock compare to a 
given index can be standardized to make some sense of the 
relationship of the stock compared to various indexes, but I don't 
know how to do this. 

If anyone has been able to take the returned values for given 
indexes and modify the results so that the comparison of a stock to 
any index can be scaled across indexes, please advise me. I guess 
what I would like to do is use this indictor to give a percentile 
ranking, such as seen in Investors Business Daily, i.e. RS = 90 etc.

Thank You
MR
