Dusant,
I am trying to use the "Comparing multiple issues by percentage"
posted on Tue Sep 7, 2004 with stocks. I have run into several
problems. I copied and pasted the formula exactly, and then changed
the pathnames for aa: to aa:= Security("C:\MetaStock
Data\S&P500\AMD",C);, bb:= Security("C:\MetaStock
Data\S&P500\INTC",C); etc. for seven stocks.
The first problem I have is that I get thousands of divide by zero
errors. When I say ignore errors and I select "1=Normal", I get a
plot that is a step like plot with each step lasting about three
months that I guess is supposed to be the average of the stock prices.
If I plot in: I get the same step like plot (but the sum of the
stocks prices). If I change all of the stocks to be the same, I get a
step like plot that is the stock's price at the beginning of the three
month period.
When I select "2=Normalised" and the default Normalise from Date
of "10101", I get a flat line of minus 1.
I suspect the date format or formulas. I don't understand the
date format in D1:=Input("Normalise from Date",010100,123199,010101);.
Nor do I understand the L01: function what it does and how it does
it. Can you help. I do want to use a percentage comparison function.
Thanks. wwflhp
