Joe,
The relative strength (as used in FT) IS defined as the ratio of one
price to the other. I just proved that to myself by plotting and
calculating the gain, in Amibroker, of the ratio:
Foreign("RUT-I", "Close") / Foreign("SP-CP", "Close")
and then verifying that the gain is the same for the rel str plotted
in FT.
