[amibroker] Re: Question about relative strenght and IIF

["Steve Davis" <_sdavis@xxxxxxxxx>]

You could choose the foreign data by examining the market a stock
belongs to. In this case, you do not need the IIF function, a simple
IF statement will work, since the market does not change on different
bars.

marketName = MarketID(1);
if (marketName == "Nasdaq")
  indexTicker = "!NDX";  // adjust for your database
else
  indexTicker = "!SPX";  // adjust for your database
index = Foreign(indexTicker, "C");

Hope that helps,
Steve
