Hi Craig,

If you have MS 6.5, you can use the LASTVALUE function.  Just build the indicator using this formula:
C/LastValue(C)*100

Drop this indicator on all the graph you what to compare then pick every indicator line and drag and drop them all on the same graph.

You will end up on the same graph with all stock having the same final value of 100 and previous days value calculated relative to this final value.

Then you can compare progressions.

Objet:	Plotting two (or more) stocks

Hi there,
Is there a way of using metastock to take two or more stocks AND making
them both, say, 100 at the start date then plot them on the same chart
(ie for purposes of seeing how a stock does relative to an index like
the dow or the Australian all ordinaries.)

(I tried using Excel for this, by exporting from metastock and dividing
all the values by a number that makes the first one 100, then plotting
the two stocks on the one chart - but this is a bit clunky!)

ALSO, when I use the system tester the buy signal is an arrow but the
sell is a little exit sign. How do I change this (Please! it's driving
me nuts and I can't work out how to change it).

Cheers,
Craig.
