From what I can tell, RS is simply the price of the stock divided by the price of the base symbol. OK - but for a ranking method how does that work - if I rank descending, and use the same base symbol (e.g. the FTSE 100) then surely those stocks with the higher prices will always rank higher? However, I note there are actually 4 potential parameters in the RS (Intellisense shows these when you type into formula builder) and those parameters are Data, Period, Symbol, Unit The following post explains some of this http://www.omnitrader.com/currentclients/otforum/thread-view.asp?threadid=3848&forumid=43&MessageID=14765 But doesn't mention the fourth (DATA) parameter - what is that - or better still, is there a reference anywhere that lists all of these parameters and describes the indicators - the basic help and Intellisense list them but don't explain them. Maybe then I could work out how RS can be used to rank different stocks in DSS! Many thanks as always - holding off loading that OT 2014 until I sort this one out!!!! |
