Hello Mike,
This is very clever piece of code. Thank you for sharing it with us.
I would have used "for" loop to create a new "close" array for each year with 1-252 index. I didn't know you can use build-in "Close" array in that way. Now that we can see the result for each year, it looks to me like we need to "normalize" the results so they can be compared on relative basis. Calculating an average from absolute values does not look right. Do you think that using ROC(C,1) would be an effective way to compare all individual year's results?
Regards
Richard
