On page 108, he defined the relative strength as the ratio of the stock price to that of a market index, and then on page 109 he talked about how this ratio can be negative or positive. This can't be negative the way he defined it. What am I missing?

Volvlov, I believe this is a semantical issue. More accurately stated, the comment on pg109 should read "...the slope of the ratio can be negative or positive."

"talked about how this ratio can be negative or positive. This can't be negative the way he defined it. What am I missing?"

I presume he means anything above 1.0 is positive (outperforming the comparing index) and below 1.0 is negative (underperforming the comparing index).

Thanks graft and xar! It appears that everything is here to make a Weinstein filter.

I ordered a used copy of the book today to see what everyone is actually talking about.
Thanks,

I did some digging and apparently, other people have questioned Weinstein's erroneous equation for Relative Strength over the years. As far as I can tell, the equation in the below link is correct. Can someone please tell me how to embed filters? Also, as noted in the code, I believe daily charts need a 200 MA and weekly charts need a 52 MA.

chart-time is 3 months
symlist(gol,htz,x,tsla)
set{ratio, close/ind(^ixic,close)}
/*200 for daily charts-52 for weekly*/
set{erat, cema(ratio,200)}
set{quo,ratio/erat}
set{dif,quo - 1}
set{MansfieldRS,dif*10}
draw MansfieldRS
add column MansfieldRS
draw MansfieldRS line at 0

An examples page.

Stage Analysis

Stage Analysis is a strategy for longer term trend trading. It was discussed in detail by Stan Weinstein in the book Secrets for Profiting in Bull and Bear Markets. Stage Analysis uses chart patterns to describe four distinct stages that a particular trade can be in.

Wonder if someone can code the below with a weekly MA52

set{erat, cema(ratio,200)}
set{quo,ratio/erat}
set{dif,quo - 1}
set{MansfieldRS,dif*10}
draw MansfieldRS
add column MansfieldRS
draw MansfieldRS line at 0
