Index-Lab

The Index-Lab extension lets you create composite breadth indicators and aggregate indicators on any Universe, simply by configuring a Wealth-Lab indicator. Index-Lab does the heavy lifting of synchronizing the data, performing the calculations, and keeping the composite indicator up to date as needed, all behind the scenes. Simply drag and drop a Index-Lab indicator, use it in a Building Block Model, or create one via C# code.

The extension contains the following new indicators. Each indicator can work on any Wealth-Lab DataSet, and most have a lookback period parameter so you can obtain great flexibility in breadth indicator creation.

• CompAdvDec - Number or percent of advancers, decliners, or unchanged symbols
• CompAdvDecLine - Advance/Decline Line, cumulative total of advancers minus decliners
• CompAdvDecRatio - Advance/Decline Ratio, advancers divided by decliners
• CompAdvDecSpread - Advance/Decline Spread, advancers minus decliners
• CompBreadthThrust - Moving average of advancers divided by moving average of advancers plus decliners
• CompCrossovers - Number or percent of symbols where a specified Indicator crosses above or below a threshold value
• CompCrossovers2 - Number or percent of symbols whose Indicator (or Price) crosses above or below the second Indicator (or Price) (from build 5)
• CompInd - Select any Wealth-Lab indicator, returns the average indicator value across the Universe
• CompInd% - Returns the percentage of symbols for which a selected indicator is above or below a specified value
