Comparison to idex

[bazza]

Is there any way of writing codes for TradeSim that refer back to the XJO - for example - I'm looking for a way of filtering stocks against the big picture within the XJO - filtering out stocks for a trend following system when the XJO is not in an uptrend?
Seems like a good idea to play with (even though I'm aware that there are always stocks that swim against the tide)

If you have MetaStock Pro, or MS EOD v8.01 or later, you can use the Security() function to reference other data arrays besides the current chart's.

For example:
{ Assuming XJO data is in C:\MetaStock Data\Indices folder }
x:=Security("C:\MetaStock Data\Indices\XJO",C);
filter:=x>Mov(x,10,E);

filter {AND system entry signal}
