  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.

  Bill
