You can create a ratio by putting a colon between them, like this: $OEXA50R:$OEXA200R There are other indexes and you can find their symbols by doing a symbol search for "A50R" - that should bring up most of them.

In this example, you use the S&P 100 (OEX) with the ratio using 50MA & 200MA. Perhaps you could explain step-by-step from calculating the ratio to generating the OEX MA ratio charts. I'd be very grateful if you could provide a detailed example so readers of your blog can learn to do it for themselves. Many thanks for all your great posts - very thought provoking, as well as original! Best Regards, D.

It gives perfect hindsight visually ...still working on the hard right edge. It seemed like a good idea from point and figure charts so i adapted it for USA stocks. I like the view it provides in my weekly analysis and gives me a feel for the sentiment. I use Amibroker and I use the 10,33, and 89 MA for BP%.
