>
> Comparative Relative Strength charts can be useful in deciding which
> security to buy, by helping to pinpoint the best performer. They can also
> be useful in developing spreads, i.e., purchase of the best performer
> "long", and selling the weaker issues "short." Comparative Relative
> Strength can be applied in MetaStock for Windows as follows:
>
> Creation of a Template for Comparative Relative Strength
>
> (For this illustration, we assume an equity/stock is compared to the S&P
> 500, both of which must first have been collected from your vendor. Both
> data files should be in the same periodicity.)
>
> 1. Load the S&P 500.
> 2. Load the equity, or whatever you wish to find the relative strength
> for.
> 3. Drag the S&P 500 plot into a new inner window of the equity. (You may
> need to click Stack first.)
> 4. Close the S&P 500 chart.
> 5. Create a custom indicator: Div(close, p)
> 6. Drag the custom indicator into the inner window containing the S&P
500

> 1. Load the S&P 500 (or whatever you want to compare against).
> 2. Create a custom indicator of the Close.
> 3. Drag and drop this indicator on the S&P 500 (or whatever...). (Note:

> it.) The indicator will plot.
> 4. Select the indicator plot (by single-clicking with the left mouse

> 5. Do an Exploration with DIV(Close,p) in column A, and specify which

> 6. The results are displayed in the Exploration report.

> * To construct a Comparative Relative Strength Exploration in MetaStock

>
> * Load the S & P 500.
> * Create a custom indicator of the Close. Plot the indicator on the S &
