[Metastockusers] ROOKIE: Question on qualifying perfromance among several instruments...

["Robert S.A. Nio" <rnio@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

<span

<span
style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'> 

<span
style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>I am new to MetaStock and I have a
question on how to find the leading sectors over a given time period. (e.g.
leading sectors for the last 3 month). I would like to apply the same logic to
the leading stock within the sector.

<span

<span
style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>I have the data of all the indexes (incl.
specific sector indexes), thus I should be able to use that to populate my
sector universe. BUT HOW DO I describe &#8220;performance&#8221; in MetaStock?
I was thinking to measure the price-difference between the beginning and end of
my time-period and then &#8220;benchmark / normalize&#8221; that with the S&P.

<span
style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'> 

<span
style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>Is that a valid approach to find the
leading sectors? How would I identify the leading stocks? (Benchmark it to the S&P
too?)

<span
style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>Any feedback is highly appreciated.

<span

<span
style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>Thanks & happy trading,
