thanks - I'll post back if successful.

I'm just realizing that there are 3 of you who have been helping me - thanks to all of you.
I've got another question. I've got 2 curves of fundamental data analysis plotted on snap sheets. One is the Relative Strength 1-year versus S&P 500; the other is the Price to Sales Ratio.
I want to create a plot of the Division: (Relative Strength 1-year S&P500) / (Price-Sales Ratio).
It seems that the Divide block does not accept Date-Number inputs. If I try to take the last value, it works; but the information is erroneous, as the value applies only to the most recent date; but I want a value for each date of the plot.
Would you be able to help with this one? I suppose the general question is how to divide one date-number sequence by another.
Hope you can help.

Thanks,
I guess i'm behind the times. I thought Pascal and C were the modern languages!

Ken -
I copied the codeblock that you wrote and it works!
Thanks so much.
I'm impressed that you did it so quickly - I don't understand the logic of the language - is there a basic instruction manual to introduce the concepts?
Thanks again.

Thank you so much; I'll give it a try.
I used to be an excellent programmer - I've built a computer from interpreter to machine language on up; but that was a long time ago and this code language so far is incomprehensible to me!
Thanks again - I'll post back if having trouble ....

This is the pertinent portion of an e-mail I sent to Worden Bros, and was instructed to post here for discussion and comment:
Question: I now know why you are enthusiastic about snap sheets; they are addictive to work with. I am trying to build a more complicated widget and I am stuck; hoping now you can help:
I have proceeded from your million dollar barchart to build different versions of barcharts that construct bars based not on days, but other critereon, and therefore each bar encompasses a variable number of days. I had the idea that it might be useful to plot an indicator displaying the number of days per bar over time, and depending on what it looks like (I haven't seen it yet) creating a moving average to begin with, or possibly applying other indicators to that data stream (each data bar should carry with it a value for # of days) so you could apply technical analysis tools to that data stream.
The problem, which is preventing me from sleeping, is that I can't seem to pull out the number of days per bar. All the blocks I have tried only seem to come up with a price value, or total number of days from the start of the chart, or if I set up two date value pointers as timeframe limiters, it only reads the number of bars, not the number of days within each bar.
Is there something like a "datespan" function that returns the number of days per bar, or for a certain bracket of start and end dates.
Hope you can help, and thanks for bringing this product to us.

Hi,
I'm not an expert by any means; but I go equally with support and resistance levels and chart formations, in addition to the indicators. Both charts look similar to me. Regarding ARBA - To me, The overall trend is down, and currently there is a consolidation taking place. The stock has tried to get past 6.11 and is having a hard time; it looks to me like the daily range is narrowing. The only thing to be sure is that the price is going to go one way or the other. It looks to me like it's more likely to continue the overall trend and break down, but since you are already in you can hold and wait - but it's got to break 6.92 before it's a genuine long play. Your stop should be below that low point of the consolidation (i can't read the price). Regarding the indicators, it's true you have a favorable TSV and BOP, but MS is negative, and if you look closely, the last peak of TSV is lower than the next to last and it may be crossing back below it's 10 period MA. of all 3 indicators, I think the MS is more important.
Good Luck ... Now, you can return the favor and tell me what will CAT do today???
 Happy Trading!
