Relative Strength

The Relative Strength differs from the RSI.  The Relative Strength is appropriately named because it provides a measurement of an issue's strength relative (as compared) to the market, a sector, or a group.  A RS of 50 means that the issue is neutral or equal to the market, sector or group.  Above 50, means the issue is outperforming, and below 50, it is underperforming.  Strong RS values are associated with up trends, and weak RS values are associated with down trends.
