I'm wanting to develop a PCF which gives a value for the relative strength of a stock relative to the S&P500 30 days ago.  So, it would look something like:

((C/SP500)/(C30/SP500.30))*100

that is, the Close of the stock now divided by the S&P now, all divided by the Close of the stock 30 days go divided by the S&P500 close 30 days ago,, all times 100.  I've tried several notations for the S&P500 value 30 days ago, but they don't seem to compute.

thanks.....

Warren,

You cannot reference the price of another symbol with a PCF.

warrenshepherd,
While I do not know of a practical automated method of writing Relative Strength PCFs in TeleChart., you may wish to review the following for a semi-automated technique for creating Relative Strength in a Personal Criteria Formula:
