I think Victor was doing like I sometimes do, whipping it out off the
top of his head, and letting you do the testing. :-)

He probably intended to say "if Close[1] of DataX <> 0 then ..."
He's checking to make sure you don't divide by zero. That's always a
good idea. Maybe you think the price will never hit zero, but in
some corner cases TS uses a zero value when the data is missing.
After that, value1 has the 1-bar %change in SPX, and value2 has the 1-
bar %change in NDX.

Change that to "if value2 > value1" and it should work as he intended.
(Another case where declaring named variables would avoid a sneaky
error. :-)
