If the stock is outperforming the broader market, the RS line slopes up. If a stock is lagging the general market, the line will point down.
The RS line is drawn on all IBD and MarketSmith charts. Additionally, the IBD Stock Screener includes a list of top rated stocks with relative strength lines to new highs. MarketSmith also has the “RS Blue Line Dot” listing, which filters RS lines to new highs. (Starting today, IBD MarketSmith is offering free access for a full week.)
