The docs are (stop me if you have heard this one before) not so
helpful for me. ^_-
On the Tokyo exchange, there are 33 sub indices. I would like to
compare all 33 sub indices against broader market averages. This is
comparative RS, as I understand it.
I have poured over the list archives, but I have uncovered nothing
that allows me to explore and return values for each of the 33 sub
indices compared to, say, the TOPIX (^IXJ) index. When I try to plot
RS of various sub indices, I get numbers than are not bounded by 0 to
100, which seems odd to me.
When I look up RS in the help file, I find nothing about periodicity,
which I also find rather strange. Certainly comparative RS must be
measured over some period of time, must it not? Am I completely
nuts?
In the docs, I find, as an example:
EXAMPLE relstrength( "^DJI" )
I'm sorry, but for someone out there, I'm sure this is an example.
For me, it's just absolutely meaningless. It is so far from helpful
that it may as well not even be there. ^^_^^

P.S. An *example* is a *fully* *explained* way of using or employing
something, not a cryptic, MAN-page-esque assumption that the reader
knows something that, in fact, the reader my have absolutely no
understanding about. This (above) is not an example! Think about
it. There is no explanation of why the "example" doesn't follow the
pattern of the syntax, or whether that is even important. There is
not even a semi-colon after the statement, something I am reasonably
sure would be necessary. It is NOT an example . . . of anything. I
am sorry.
I should think, at the very least, someone is going to try and get
something out of an exploration with this information. An
appropriate addcolumn() statement as an example would be a fine why
to go about this. One might actually learn something.
USAGE is what is important, NOT abstract theory. People want to know
how to USE this information, with examples.
TJ, I understand your frustration. Please try and understand mine. I
go through documents for hours. It is a circular and incredibly
time-wasting fishing trip, usually. And I am nothing if not stupid.
But I do not come at this from a mathematical or programmatic
background.
