Relative strength plot

The relative strength plot shows how the share price has moved relative to the market, as represented by the FTSE Actuaries All-Share Index. This is commmonly referred to as 'price relative' performance. It is the broken line which floats within and outside the shaded area, and which is superimposed and rebased so that it starts from the same point as the share price plot.

A rise in the relative strength plot indicates outperformance, a fall shows underperformance. For example, if the relative strength plot doubles in value by reference to the vertical scale, the shares have outperformed the index by a factor of two. A horizontal line indicates that the share price has precisely tracked the Index.

The relative strength plot is determined by applying to a constant (the value of the index on the date the plot commences) a time series of factors which comprise the adjusted share price as the numerator and the index as the denominator.
