In many trading systems Relative performance or ratio is used to drive signals. For example, GLD/GDX ratio can be used to trade GDX of LQD/JNK for market strength. Having two indicators that plot these types of ratios would be very helpful and could save a lot of time charting or programming in WLPro. I suggest adding one indicator that plots ratio of active symbol and and a defined external symbol. The menu for such indicator should also include moving average. Another indicator would plot the ratio of two external symbols and a moving average of the ratio.
I realize that this could be easily done using WLPro code. The point is that having them as standard indicators would a lot simpler.
I apologize if such indicators already exist and I missed them.

Looking for
Beta?
A lot simpler I agree, but a lot more work to code it at the same time. The indicator library API provides no means for accessing external symbols for drag-n-dropped indicators. The index symbol for comparison there is, but it's mostly useless in GUI. In code, however, you can specify any Index for Beta.
