Uh Oh. Katherine has kindly pointed out my error off-list.

I should have pointed you to the reference to
http://www.equis.com/Education/TAAZ/?page=99 using the S&P500 as the base
security.

This is for the RS line shown on the IBD charts, not the RS Rank (1-99)
shown on the stock checkup.

Confusing, isn't it!

It depends on if you want the relative strength index (against the S&P 500)
or the  Relative Strength Ranking (against all other stocks in IBD's
database).

You will not be able to duplicate the RS ranking exactly (I've tried)
because you won't be able to match their stocks exactly. But you should be
able to calculate the RS index which is described here
http://www.equis.com/Education/TAAZ/?page=100.

Good luck.

Hi all,

Sorry if this question has been asked before.  I am using QP, and
I know that it computes RS differently than IBD.  Does anyone know
how IBD compute RS?  The reason for this question is that I'd like
to use IBD calculation as a filter in my QP scan.
