Viewing / Deleting Delta Relative Strength Values

To view and individual financial instrument’s Delta Relative Strength, open the chart with the financial instrument whose Delta Relative Strength values you wish to view. Then bring up a Delta Relative Strength indicator window by selecting Breadth from the Indicators menu and Delta Relative Strength from the Breadth menu.

To view all of the Delta Relative Strength values for a specific date, select Delta Relative Strength from the Special menu and View / Delete Delta RS Values from the Delta Relative Strength submenu.

If you have more than one Delta Relative Strength database, a dialog box will appear asking you which database you want to view. Click on the Relative Strength number of days value that you want and then number of delta Relative Strength periods you want. Click OK.

Next, a dialog box will appear asking you which date you wish to view or delete. First select a year and then select a date.

If you want to delete a date, click the Delete button. A message box will appear asking you to confirm the deletion. By click Yes, the selected date will be deleted.

If you want to view the date, click OK. The viewing RS values dialog box will appear.

The caption on this dialog box tells you which Delta Relative Strength database and which Delta Relative Strength date you are viewing. As a reminder, 4-250 indicates a 4 Delta Relative Strength period value and a 250 day Relative Strength value. Next follows a list of the files in your Delta Relative Strength database, followed by the Relative Strength values used for the Delta Relative Strength calculation, their percent change and their Delta Relative Strength ranking. The files are listed from the highest Delta Relative Strength value to the lowest Delta Relative Strength value.

Since the list can be rather long, it is sometimes difficult to find the Delta Relative Strength value for a particular financial instrument. If you click on the Find button, a dialog box will appear asking you for the symbol of the instrument you wish to find. Enter the ticker symbol and click OK. If the symbol appears on your list, Investigator will find it for you and display it.

Due to limitations in the Windows operating system, in some extreme cases a list is so large the entire list cannot appear all at once in your dialog box. You will notice this if you scroll to the bottom of your list and notice that the Delta Relative Strength values don’t end at 1. To get around this limitation, you can click on the Start List button to start the list at a different value. For example, in most cases, if you start your list at 50, you will typically be able to see the bottom of your list. To do this, click the Start List button. The start DRS list dialog box appears. Enter the value you want the list to start at and click OK. The list will now start at this value. If you later want to see the start of the list, click the Start List button, enter 99, and click OK.

If you wish to view some of the trades on the list, highlight the trades by clicking them and then click the See Trade button. The chart(s) will appear with their Delta Relative Strength values shown for the most recent date. If you wish to see the Delta Relative Strength value for a previous date, click on that date and the value will appear.

Finally, you can print the list by clicking on the Print button. A print dialog box will appear asking you to confirm the number of copies, etc. Click OK and the list will print.
