<span
>RSC is not available in the
Metastock Formula Language - it's for plotting onto a chart ONLY.  All
that an RSC is is one security divided by another.  The RSC pulldown
function also allows you to normalise the final value so it starts at zero.





<font size=3
face="Times New Roman"> 





<span
>If you want to put an RSC into an
explorer there are two ways depending upon which version of Metastock you have.





<font size=3
face="Times New Roman"> 





<span
>1.    Using the SECURITY
function (only available in Metastock Professional and Metastock (EOD) v8.01





<font size=3
face="Times New Roman"> 





<span
>C/SECURITY("c:\premiumdata\us\indices\DJIA",C)





<span
>(ie show the RSC of the current
stock versus the dow jones industrial average)





<font size=3
face="Times New Roman"> 





<span
>2.    Using the
"P" variable (this is available in all versions of Metastock).





<font size=3
face="Times New Roman"> 





<span
>The "P" variable is the
currently highlighted prices of the current opened chart.  ie click on the
candles/bars/line and you'll see it highlighted.  This is now the
"P" variable.





<span
>In your explorer formulae, you can
access the price of the selected stock as "P"





<span
>eg.





<span
>C/P





<span
>(ie show the RSC of the current
stock being explored versus the highlighted stock)





<font size=3
face="Times New Roman"> 





<span
>Obviously #2 is a bit more painful
because you have to open up a chart and highlight the prices for it to work.

<font size=2 color=navy
face=Arial FAMILY=SANSSERIF>Jay the difference between syntax and formula is stark. The syntax
is the coding that details how a programmer is to use a function eg. for RSI
the Syntax is RSI(Data Array, Periods) where
a formula may be considered a combination of functions and there associated
parameters as in the Metastock Coppock Indicator Mov(ROC(C,14,%)+ROC(C,11,%),10,W);0. The Metastock manual
contains syntax for many of the functions but, it would seem, not all. I simply
want to know what the SYNTAX of RSC is and also whether there is a complete set
of documentation that outlines all the Metastock functions syntax whether this
is an official guide or unofficial.
