RE: How to create the Mansfield Relative Performance Indicator

And then a 52 week moving average is added to the indicator to show the zero line.
So the longer version is:
Standard Relative Performance = (today's close of the stock divided by today's close of the index) * 100
Mansfield Relative Performance indicator
The formula of this indicator is a bit more difficult than the regular Standard Relative Performance indicator:
Code:MRP = (( RP(today) / sma(RP(today), n)) - 1 ) * 100
Where:
RP = Standard Relative Performance indicator (see above)
SMA = Simple moving average over n days.
n = 52 for weekly charts, and n = 200 on daily charts
So to make it a bit clearer:
Mansfield Relative Performance = (( Today's Standard Relative Performance divided by Today's Standard Relative Performance 52 Week Moving Average )) - 1) * 100
I hope the above calculations all make sense, but if you need further assistance then chartmill.com did a good article on it which you can find here: http://www.chartmill.com/documentation.p...20Strength
Does anyone know how to set this up in Thinkorswim (TOS)?
