Hi,

I am using DTN.

Whatever the other source, that was only an example.  I want to compare a base index (Dow Jones, Nasdaq, etc.) with a sector/industry index (XAU, GLD, etc.) and with the actual stock.

I am already able to compare the stock with the base index 

(with the following formla:

Ticker = GetBaseIndex(); // plot industry, need to create composite
sectors

TickerName = IndustryID(1);

TickerClose = Foreign( Ticker, "close" );

for( i = 0; ( symbol = StrExtract( Ticker, i ) ) != ""; i++ )
{
fc = Foreign( ticker, "C" );
}

PlotGrid( 0, colorYellow );

_N( Title = "{{NAME}} - Relative Performance [%]: {{VALUES}}" );

ticker= ( 100 * ( fc - Ref( fc, -10 ))/Ref (fc,-10)) ;
Current= ( 100 * ( C - Ref (Close, -10) ) / Ref (Close, -10)) ;


)

but for some reasons I just don't know how to add a sector index to the thing so I can get a third graph...

Hi,

Thanks for your help!

I scanned the whole user guide but I think I am missing some insight on this.  The guide explains how to use the relativestrength or foreign, but I just didn't see any example how to actually assign a variable for BOTH the marketid and the industry or sector.  I have no trouble assigning a variable to the base index, but I just can't use both industry/sector and base index at the same time.  That's why I was wondering if anybody knew how to do this and could show me an example of how to do it.

Thanks!

Louis
