Correlation function is built-in QuantShare. The function name is "correl".
You can get beta function here: Beta

Why do you think the formula is incorrect.
It is covariance(r1, r2) / var(r2)

As described, the beta function requires the covariance indicator which can be downloaded here: Covariance

when i check the values for beta in qs vs other programs the values are different.
i downloaded the covariance formula.

is this not correct?

temp1 = GetSeries("spy",close);
a = beta(close,temp1,252);
Plot(a, "beta", colorBlack, chartLine, StyleSymbolNone);

Your formula as well as the covariance function are correct.

I have implemented a new covariance function using another formula and the result is the same:

I am getting 1 when plotting your formula:

temp1 = GetSeries("spy",close);
a = beta(close,temp1,252);
a = round(a, 10);
Plot(a, "beta", colorBlack, chartLine, StyleSymbolNone);

Trading financial instruments, including foreign exchange on margin, carries a high level of risk and is not suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest in financial instruments or foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. 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.
