10/2/2021 1:11:27 PM I have seen the few scripts provided by SF on Relative Strength (NOT RSI), but I’m looking for a modification that would compare to the way IBD shows the result. For example, if MSFT relative strength is 96 (in IBD), how would I program that into SF? I “believe” IBD does a 1-year look back of a stock’s ROC performance compared to SPY to calculate it (say, the 96 with MSFT). Thus, I think an ROC(252) would be the correct number to use for 1 year of trading days. I would like a column to show the Relative Strength number (say, 96) and include the Relative Strength graph line. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you SO MUCH. |

10/2/2021 5:03:01 PM @ glgene You can replace "draw roc1Y line at spy_1Y" with "draw clri(roc1Y, 9) line at spy_1Y" to smooth out ROC1Y line so as to get rid of the unnecessary zigzags. |

10/2/2021 9:35:47 PM Styl —- Wow, that was fast turnaround time! Thank you. Now I’ll do the task of comparing your SF “Relative Strength” numbers with IBD … to see if they’re in sync. I’ll get back to you real soon. |

10/3/2021 8:00:03 AM @ Glgene You can also add an extra line for a subchart which might give you some indication of timing for entries and exits: draw cema(clri(roc1Y minus spy_1Y, 9), 13) |

10/3/2021 2:25:48 PM Styl -- Well, I guess my project is not as straightforward as I would hope in SF. According to IBD: "The proprietary RS rating measures the price performance of a given stock against the rest of the market for the past 52 weeks. Every stock in the market is assigned a rating from 1 to 99, with 99 being the best. An RS rating of 99 means the stock has outperformed 99% of all other companies in terms of price performance. A RS of 50 means that half of all other stocks have done better and half have done worse." These two (2) Dow 30 stocks (EOD 10/1) have the following Relative Strength (RS) ratings in IBD: GS ---- Goldman Sachs, RS = 87. MFT -- Microsoft, RS = 79. I don't have a clue how to script this into SF. I initially thought that if you took the ROC(252) of a stock vs the SPY ROC(252), it would point us in the right direction. But notice in the IBD definition, it says "proprietary RS" rating. ?? -- GLGene |

10/3/2021 7:11:36 PM @ glgene That's basically a percentile ranking, whereas the method in SF gives you the raw score without the percentile grouping. If you sort the raw score from high to low, you should see those same stocks at the very top corresponding to IBD score of 90 or above. For example, if you run the actual SF script on DOW 30 stocks alone, GS is at the very top, ahead of MSFT. But if you run the SF against all S&P 500, there might be a few others that have outperformed GS in the most recent 252 days. But again, if a particular stock has one of the highest IBD scores at this very moment, people who had been riding high with this stock for a while will naturally take the very next exit to cash in and pocket the profits. So IBD score by its nature is highly fluid and dynamic. Chasing high IBD score at any given moment may or may not get the results you want. The following script should give some visual clues on how any of the DOW 30 stocks is performing against S&P 500 EFT in the most recent 32 days (1/8 of a trading year), most recent quarter, half year and 1 year. For many people the second one (quarterly performance) is probably the better overall time frame. |

10/6/2021 1:19:06 PM @glgene, Here are some more IBD RS tidbits: currently there are 9,144 stocks being followed by IBD, and a lot more than that by SF It looks like IBD uses rounding so the RS numbers end up being integers the following are a couple quotes from IBD website: "Once a stock has broken out from a proper base and is trading inside the key 5% buy zone, investors should immediately check to see if the stock shows an RS Ratings of 85 or higher alongside an RS line that's nearing or making new highs. If both these criteria are met, you can be sure the stock has a higher chance of successfully breaking out to new highs." Using The RS Rating To Analyze Stocks "Often, investors fear high RS Ratings because they think it indicates the stock is overextended and due for a pullback. But in reality, many stocks show RS Ratings above 80 while they are still recovering and trying to make new highs. In fact, studies of winning stocks show the average RS Rating for stocks at their breakouts is around 87." Ed S. " |
