Here is a custom indicator created by me:
 
Change "{Drive}:\{Directory}\{SubDir}\{{Subdir} to your own parameters. Look up the help file for more details
 
Choice:= Input("1=Normal;2=Normalised",1,2,1);
D1:=Input("Normalise from Date",010100,123199,010101);
 
aa:= Security("{Drive}:\{Directory}\{SubDir}\{{Subdir}\ASHOKLEY", C);
bb:= Security(""{Drive}:\{Directory}\{SubDir}\{{Subdir}\TATAMOTORS", C);
cc:= Security(""{Drive}:\{Directory}\{SubDir}\{{Subdir}\EICHERMOT", C);
 
in:=(aa+bb+cc);
 
den:=
If(aa > 0, 1, 0) +
If(bb > 0, 1, 0) +
If(cc > 0, 1, 0) ;
 
ind:= in/den;
 
L01:=LastValue(ValueWhen(1,Month()=(Int(D1/10000)) AND DayOfMonth()=(Int(D1/100)-((Int(D1/10000))*100)) AND Year()=(If(Mod(D1,100)>30,1900+Mod(D1,100),2000+Mod(D1,100))),ind));
 
If(Choice = 1, ind, (ind/L01)-1)
