The "IndustryEquity" indicator returns the industry price series of the active stock. It does so by building the ticker symbol of the stock's industry using the "IndustryIndex" function. More info on this function can be found here: Industry Index Name.
After that, it requests industry close series and return that price series.
Example of usage:
a = IndustryEquity();
Plot(a, industry(), colorGreen, ChartLine, StyleSymbolNone);
The above formula, when added to a chart or pane, plots the industry close series of the chart's symbol.
If your chart is plotting candlestick data Google (GOOG) then the above formula will plot data for "Computer Services" industry.
You can create the industry relative strength indicator by subtracting the performance of the stock's price (close) by the performance of the industry price (IndustryEquity()).
This indicator uses the Industry Index Name function and the following downloader: Industry Market Data (To get industries historical data). The function and the downloader must be installed prior to using this indicator.

The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with trading and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
