How do you designate the value of the S&P500 today? S&P500 20 days ago. Thanks....

I'm not sure I'm understanding the question, but if you are looking at SP-500:

Current Price:
C

Close 20-Periods Ago:
C20

If you are looking at another symbol, there is no way to reference the SP-500 in a Personal Criteria Formula or Custom Indicator. However, it can be referenced on the charts as a Comparison Symbol or for Relative Strength.

Thanks, Bruce. I was interested in using it in a pcf and to develop a custom indicator, for use in comparing stocks. Thanks again...

One thing to keep in mind... seeing you were going to compare all of the stocks to the same benchmark (the SP-500) you might be able to drop it from the equation). Post what you wanted the CI to do here and let me see if I can get you the same indicator without the reference to the SP-500.
