Hi,
Hmm... Maybe I am not clear enough, or what I am saying is confusing. I will try to explain it another way.
Right now when I choose a stock, I can decide the market, the industry, and the sector. As an example, AA is in the NYSE and I chose the composite index indu.x for that market. And YHOO is in the Nasdaq and I chose comp.x for the Nasdaq. I have absolutely no problem getting those index and do whatever I need I have to do with them. My problem is that I can't get the industry or sector index. Per example, AEM is in NYSE but I want to compare DJI with GLD along with the stock. Right now I can't do it. I can get the base market index, but not the industry index.
I already wrote this code
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)) ;
and what I need is a way to get a variable (let's say fc1... or ticker1) that would represent the sector/industry index already linked to the stock. So all I need is a way to get to that industry/sector index to be able to assign it to a variable and then use that variable and write, as an example:
ticker1= ( 100 * ( fc1 - Ref( fc1, -10 ))/Ref (fc1,-10)) ;
I don't understand how to get both the market index and the sector/industry index.
Thank you very much for helping me with this issue. I am still learning (got a long way to go) but reading you guys sure helps me.

Maybe this will help:
// AccuTrack Compares performance of two securities
// The basic idea is to switch between the two securities
// AccuTrack was developed by FastTrack (http://fasttrack.net)
// Following is the Indicator Builder Formula
fnd = Name();
ind = "FDRXX"; // FDRXX is money market fund, so the comparison
is done with cash.
fund = Foreign(fnd, "Close");
index = Foreign(ind, "Close");
fast = 6;
slow = 24;
RawAT = EMA((EMA(ROC(fund,1), slow) - EMA(ROC(index,1),slow)),fast);
tradeAccuTrack = RawAT * 265;
Plot(tradeAccuTrack, "tradeAccuTrack", colorBlue, styleLine);
Title = Date()
+ " Trade AccuTrack of "
+ fnd
+" / "
+ ind
+ " = " + WriteVal(tradeAccuTrack, 1.2) + " ";
