[amibroker] Re: Code Question Involving Arrays

Hi Udo,

Thanks for the suggestion.  I will see what this does.  It is fairly
easy to compare relative stock performance against indicators, but not
directly against other stocks.  As I have thought about it more, I may
be barking up the wrong tree as you could use a comparison say against
relative strength and then compare it to other stocks and still arrive
at the proper answer.

Thanks,

Bret
