Brian - Here's a code fragment that seems to work for me
// ---------------------------YTD Performance Calculation
EndV = ValueWhen(DateNum()==DateNum(),Close); // Today's Close
BegV = ValueWhen(DateNum()==1030102,Close); // Jan/02/03 Close
YTD = 100*(EndV-BegV)/BegV;
You'll have to start with a trading day, in this case it was Jan
2,2003.
Hope this helps. Seems to work for me.
