Is there anyone out here that knows how to create a filter that compares two stocks against each other, graphically (chart form), that shows visually their relationship between them. Example showing SPY vs GLD on one chart.

Taking this concept a little deeper, show two equities (stocks or ETF's) where their price lines cross and go in different directions.

Looking for equities that are like oil and water to each other. Can anyone write a filter showing this unique interaction between two equities?

Your help on this is always appreciated.

This should give you a start.

Thank you. I will fiddle with this and see how it works for me.

Is there any way to create a filter that would automatically show us opposite in nature equities, showing the two equities on one chart not two individual ones? Or if it couldn't do this graphically maybe it could show us the opposites in list form?

@marine2

You can display the two on the same chart by doing something like this:

Fetcher[
set{sym1, ind(spy, close)}
set{sym2, ind(gld, close)}

close equals sym1

add column sym1
add column sym2
draw sym1 on plot sym1
draw sym2 on plot sym1
]



See the "sym1,sym2" graph

I am not 100% sure what you meant by the other part of your question. You cannot automatically scan all stocks to see which ones cross and diverge. You can determine which ones are like oil to a specific water. To do that you need to use the crosses or converges some number of days and and diverging with ind(...). The symbol in "ind(...)" is the water and it will find the oil for you ;)

Fetcher[
show stocks where close is above 10
and average volume(30) is above 250000
and corr(^SPX,60,Close) is below 0
and add column corr(^SPX,60,Close)
and compare with ^SPX

sort on column 5 ascending
]



No surprise here that the inverse etfs for ^SPX are at the top of this list, but there are some toher candidates that might be of interest.

Another thought - within the S&P 500 there are likely to be a top and bottom correlated stock - perhaps these would be a good "oil and water" pair?

Fetcher[

S&P 500
add column corr(^SPX,252,Close)
and compare with ^SPX

sort on column 5 descending
]



Among the highest correlated is GOOG, and among the lowest is AAPL. Here's a chart over the past year:
