  like an index, another stock, oil, anything? Seems obvious but the word 'correlate' does not exist in the SF user guide.

  ...you can use "Comparative Relative Strength"...
 
 Comparative Relative Strength
 
 -------------------------------------------
 
 For Example :
 
 
  	    
 
 ---------------------------------------------------------
 
 This simply computes a ratio in the price change of each stock in the NAZ 100 to the price change in the Russel 3000...over the last 30 days !
 
 The Comparative Relative Strength column is sorted in descending order...so that...the BEST price performers (compared to the Russel 3000) rise to the top !
 
 Anything ABOVE 1...shows outperformance on a relative basis...a 1.25 reading (for example) means that particular stock outperformed the Russell 3000 by 25% !!!
 
 Does that help ?

  thanks guys. This could potentially be useful. Is it possible to turn the output number of above and below 1 into a statistic of percentage of time moved in synch with the index? I don't care about over and underperformance which is what this looks like it was intended for.
