Can anyone please tell me if they had any luck getting MetaStock to calculate stocks beta values. If so, can you please tell me the formula you used. Thanks, Steven

It's a little tricky read this post carefully: http://forum.equis.com/viewtopic.php?t=1552

Thanks for the reply, but I was looking for something that could be written as a formula. I want to use it as a formulated value in one of the columns in an explorations. Is it possible someone here has done this before. Thanks, Steven

Well the formula is right here: [code:1:717f6178d7]( ( 21 * Sum( ROC( CLOSE ,1 ,% ) * ROC( INDICATOR ,1 ,% ) ,21 ) ) - ( Sum( ROC( CLOSE ,1 ,% ) ,21) * Sum( ROC( INDICATOR ,1 ,% ) ,21 ) ) ) / ( (21 * Sum( Pwr( ROC( INDICATOR ,1 ,% ) ,2 ) ,21 )) - Pwr( Sum( ROC( INDICATOR ,1 ,% ) ,21 ) ,2 )) [/code:1:717f6178d7] Now you have two options: 1) If you have the security function use it to replace the INDICATOR and call whatever index you want for the calculation 2) If you Don't then open a chart of the index you want to use and left click on the price plot then run the exploration with the formula above in one of your columns Patrick :mrgreen:

Seems like instead of "INDICATOR" you could use the "SECURITY" function. I would think in this way I could create a indicator that I can sort using the explorer instead of a chart. I have started to play around with it using your formula but haven't come up with something I like yet.
