Download 
the file RSC Article.pdf from the files section and study it. 
This 
explains the RSC better than I can and should answer your 
questions.

The "security" 
function enables you to reference a specific security or index for use as a 
benchmark.

So Security("<FONT 
face="Courier New">insert the full path to your benchmark or index 
here",CLOSE) uses the closing price as a 
reference.

So if you want to 
check out how your securities are are performing relative to the DAX 
over 60 days, in an exploration you would enter ...
<FONT face=Arial 
size=2> 
PDS:= 
60;   {periods}
VAR1:= 
Security("C:\METASTOCK\UK\FT Indices\DAX",CLOSE);   {your benchmark or 
index}ROC(CLOSE/VAR1,PDS,%)
<FONT 
size=2> 
or the Dow 
Jones Industrial ...
<FONT face=Arial 
size=2> 

PDS:= 
60;   {periods}
VAR2:= 
Security("C:\METASTOCK\UK\FT Indices\DJI",CLOSE);   {your benchmark or 
index}ROC(CLOSE/VAR2,PDS,%)
<FONT face=Arial 
size=2> 
etc 
etc
<FONT face=Arial

Obviously the 
location or path of the security you wish to use as a reference will be 
different on your computer.

As Roy Larsen 
has pointed out you can also use either the "P" variable or "INDICATOR" like so 
...
<SPAN 
class=269275514-06102003> 

<FONT 
size=2>ROC(CLOSE/P,60,%) <SPAN 
class=269275514-06102003>or <SPAN 
class=269275514-06102003><FONT 
size=2>ROC(CLOSE/INDICATOR,60,%) will produce the same 
result.
<SPAN 
class=269275514-06102003> 
If you prefer this method just remember to 
open your index and click on it before you do the exploration otherwise you will 
get a nil result.
