The author states:
The relative strength line tells you how strong a stock is relative to every other stock on the market. It is a time-tested technical analysis indicator that has been effective for decades–its longevity means it can be trusted and used with confidence and conviction. The relative strength line is often associated with the RS Rating 1-99, however this article focuses on the RS Line itself.

Relative Strength Line Calculation
The calculation is simple; it is the price of the stock divided by the price of the S&P 500 at that time. Though deceivingly uncomplicated, the relative strength line is undoubtedly the key to finding the best-performing true market leaders, especially when the market is in a correction.

80-90% of all new stock bases are formed while the market is in correction. The relative strength line is one of the most efficient and effective tools to find the strongest stocks among thousands to sort through.
