I am trying to write a script that compares a stock performance vs the industry? Can anyone help?

Here is what I have:

StockPrice = Close Data1;

ReferencePrice = Close = of Data2;


If StockPrice > 0 and RefrencePRice > 0 then

LogVal = Log (StockPrice / ReveerencePrice);


Relative Strength = XAverage(LogVal – LogVal[Length],

EMALength) * 100


Inputs:

RS Length = 90 Days

Exponential Moving Average Length = 3 Periods

here is what i came up with.

added , declare lower; to make it a lower study

the default stock that is compared to the chart stock is SPY.
input Reference_stock = "SPY";

the average type can be changed from the default of exponential.

this line , z.hidebubble(); , stops a price bubble from showing up on the price axis.
if you want a price bubble, disable it with a # in front of the code line.


Code:
# compare_emalog_0
declare lower;

input RS_length = 90;
input ema_length = 3;
input Reference_stock = "SPY";

def na = double.nan;
def Stock_Price = Close;
def Reference_Price = close(Reference_stock);
def valid = if (Stock_Price * Reference_Price) > 0 then 1 else 0;
def LogVal = If valid then Log(Stock_Price / Reference_Price) else na;

input averageType = AverageType.EXPONENTIAL;
def Relative_Strength = MovingAverage(averageType,(LogVal – LogVal[rs_length]), ema_length) * 100;

plot z = Relative_Strength;
z.SetDefaultColor(Color.yellow);
z.setlineweight(1);
z.hidebubble();
#

This looks great, thank you so much! Would you happen to know how I can get the indicator to look like this (see image)?

So the histogram is green one above the zero line and red when it is below does your line. https://www.screencast.com/t/KQgB8XLBS

delete the plot formula line and the lines after it. then paste in these lines

Code:
plot z = Relative_Strength;
z.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HISTOGRAM);
z.AssignValueColor(if Relative_Strength > 0 then color.green else color.red);
