Yes, you are absolutely correct. I hope they can implement a correction for
this soon as this function is an important part of my work.

Subject: Relative Strength Comparative Calculation Warning!
>MetaStock & Quotes-Plus Users:
>This is a warning to MetaStock users who use the Relative
>Strength Comparative (RSC) feature in MetaStock. As you know, I
>have been notifying Quotes-Plus about missing dates in their
>data. If a single date is missing and you use that ticker in a
>composite, the calculation for that composite will be incorrect.
>
>This morning, I realized this could also apply to the RSC. I
>called Equis and confirmed this. If a single date is missing and
>you do a RSC, your figures will probably be incorrect.
>Therefore, I recommend you use the Downloader and verify either
>that the number of records is the same or write down the last
>figures in each ticker. Then manually calculate and compare to
>what shows up in MetaStock.
>
>For some reason, Equis never wrote code for their composites or
>RSC's to make sure the dates were identical. They should write
>code to drop any dates which are missing and simply not place
>them on the chart.
