Play with this: Sometimes it is necessary to reference more than one security when writing a custom indicator. For instance, if you wanted to create a Relative Strength chart between two security files, you would divide one security by the other security. The syntax for referencing multiple securities within a single formula is quite simple. All you need to do is to place SECn: in front of the security element that you wish to access. The n specifies which security to access. For example: SEC1:Close / SEC2:Close This will divide the first security in the chart by the second security in the chart. To tell which security is 1, 2 etc., open the Security drop-down combo box in the Custom Indicators dialog box. The securities will be referenced in order of appearance in the security list. Adv and dec can be securities. I doubt you can do it. report back.
