Spyglass - Broad Market Formulas

The Broad Market tool allows you to import calculated items into MetaStock (via the Paste Functions dialog), and also includes many pre-built custom formulas in MetaStock.

The pre-built custom formulas take the Broad Market functions and place them into a MetaStock custom formula.

GetCustomData - used to grab any data that's not included in the pre-defined calculations. A filename is specified. For example, the filename for the file that contains the percent of securities whose 50-day moving average is above the close would be PER50DMA_ABOVE_CLOSE.TXT. If you're not sure what the file name is, look in the Broad Market folder after the calculation is complete.
