The 21-day percent change or the 1-day percent change 21 days ago?

The 21-day percent change or the 1-day percent change 21 days ago?


I am trying to do a "custom sort" to compare the relative performance of select major index' for given periods. For example, QQQQ, DIA, IWF,...
So I want to sort by the percent change each is from "21" days ago, recognizing some will be positive while others will be negative. Hopefully this explains what I am trying to do. I still have not sorted out your question as to which, but hopefully what I have said answers the question. As always, thank you for your assistance.

Let me ask another way...

Are you trying to rank the list by their price performance over the last 21 days (from the price 21-days ago till now)?

Create a WatchList of your major indexes then sort them by Price Percent Change 1-Month.

This will rank them by their 21-day percent performance.

Here are two videos to review:

Let's, say, I wanted to rank the Index' by "15", or some number other than 21 ( or one already customized in the Sort Menu?

Then you can use this PCF as a template:

Price Percent Change 10-day

100*(C-C10)/C10
