<Were you using Chartcraft box scaling for the RS work? Were the RS values typically in any average ranges? >

With 500 stocks to follow I used DWA portfolios, which base RS on the DJIA. I would not have been able to track all the stocks using any other RS base. The DWA portfolios are ideal for a study like this in that every day you can click on the "Activity" button and get the RS and trend changes. As a personal preference I like the S&P 500 or some fixed value that gives me an initial 2% per box scale.

The typical stock price was around $60 so I guess in many cases it would take about 20 - 25% change in in a flat market to get RS in X.
