Louis,
Here is some basic code that shows that it was easy after-all
//Adapted from Tomasz Janeckzko's Relative Performance code
if (MarketID(1) == "NYSE")
TickerList = "^DJI,^TNX";
else if (MarketID(1) == "Nasdaq")
TickerList = "^IXIC,^TNX";
fvb = Status("firstvisiblebar");
Plot( 100 * ( C - C[ fvb ] ) / C[ fvb ], Name(), colorBlue );
for( i = 0; ( symbol = StrExtract( TickerList, i ) ) != ""; i++ )
{
fc = Foreign( symbol, "C" );
if( ! IsNull( fc[ 0 ] ) )
{
Plot( 100 * ( fc - fc[ fvb ] )/ fc[ fvb ], symbol,
colorLightOrange + ( (2*i) % 15 ), styleLine );
}
}
PlotGrid( 0, colorYellow );
If you use the example Dow database shipped with AB and then use
AmiQuote to add ^IXIC and ^TXN and get some data for them to match
the original database time range you will be able to see how it works.
(You might need to manually move INTC and MSFT to Nasdaq (Market)
first then as you scroll down to INTC and MSFT the index plotted will
change from ^DJI to ^IXIC.
It is only very basic - you can extend the idea to get what you want
e.g. you could use nested IF's with the AND condition to produce more
specific and complex ticker lists.
I used Yahoo data because we all have access to it for sharing code
examples.
I just picked any old symbols to prove that the concept is workable.
Another, easier way to do it, would be to put the market index,
sector index, gold index and all, say, gold stocks in a watchlist -
you could then use InWatchlist() as the condition for using the
market/sector/gold index from that watchlist.
Adding more watchlists for other subsets would allow more complex
choices.
I only used stuff to write the code that had already been posted in
this thread (thanks to the others who contributed ideas/code etc).
Before you can paint you have to understand the canvas, the colours
and the brush.
