Is there a "New Highs vs. New Lows" calculation capability in Stockfetcher?

Yes, the NYSE new highs is here as an index (^HIGN). New lows is ^LOWN.

I guess I am having a senior moment.

I want to show the number of NYSE new highs. I started with this script line, and nothing happens

Symlist(^hign)

I guess I don't know how to show index info. Any help?

What about a 20-day moving average of NYSE new highs; same with NYSE new lows...and a ratio of the two.

??

ind(^HIGN,close) should give you the number

Try this

Fetcher[

set{newhighs, ind(^HIGN,close)}
set{newlows, ind(^LOWN,close)}
set{ratio, newhighs / newlows}
set{ratioma, cma(ratio,20)}
add column newhighs
add column newlows
add column ratio
add column ratioma
symlist(SPY)

]

Kevin, I tried your suggestion, and I'm a little confused...

If ^HIGN is the SF-supported index for NYSE "new highs" then how can you run this on Symlist(SPY)?

With your script -- run with end-of-day April 13, 2012 stock prices -- it displays 21 newhighs and 28 newlows....on SPY (a single stock symbol)? Isn't my goal with ^HIGN to get the number of new highs on the NYSE?

Also, I did a 2-year lookback (with the DRAW command), and it never shows a ratio of less than 1. ??

Could use some clarification. Thanks.

FYI: My reference to a 20-day moving average of New Highs-New Lows comes from the book, "All About Market Indicators" by Michael Sincere.

The new highs and new lows are for the NYSE, not for SPY. Using them in set{} statements turns them into variables that can be plotted regardless of what stock is being displayed.

Try using "draw ratio on plot ratioma". Also consider "new highs - new lows" rather than the ratio, which can be infinite in certain cases.
