Hi Brian,
I am already able to compare one stock with one base index; the only thing I can't do is add the industry or sector index to that.
I already have a variable for the stock and for the index.
//fc is for the index
ticker= ( 100 * ( fc - Ref( fc, -10 ))/Ref (fc,-10)) ;
Current= ( 100 * ( C - Ref (Close, -10) ) / Ref (Close, -10)) ;à
Basically, all I want is to add a third variable which would take the industryID or sectorID so I would be able to add it to the package.
You are right; if I was more fluent in English probably the first time everyone would have said "ahah!" and you would have understood then how easy it should be for people who know how AFL works. I am sure this is easy; I just don't get it...yet!
Thanks!
Louis

Hello Louis,
Understandably language makes it harder - just like when I was in
France.
The main problem I think is that you are mixing two ideas and the
second one is a little more complex. Also you are switching between
them so it makes it harder for people to follow.
1) You want to plot, for example, S&P500 (Market), ^XAU (Gold Index)
and ABX (stock e.g. Barrick Gold) on one chart for comparison.
2) When you plot the stock you want the corresponding Index and
Stock to Market to automatically plot.
Is that correct?
If so - can you do step 1?
I think Bill gave you a workable answer for step 1?
Yes,step2 can be done - probably a few ways but maybe the forum won't
come up with the super deluxe version - I don't know.
Also - you must have seen these.

I don't know if I will try step 2 or not.
