Does anyone know the the look-back periods for these indicators used in StockFetcher:

*Beta
*STD Dev

If so, what are they?

Hey Gene,

Beta is 36 months according to SF

It looks like Standard Deviation period is set by a user by putting a value inside the parentheses, according to SF.

Thanks, Ed...

I’m trying to work on a SF script where I can show a “risk-adjusted” rate of return, taking into consideration the volatility of a stock’s beta (or standard deviation). In other words — looking back, say, 1 year —

SP500
Set {a, ROC(252) / Beta}
Add column a {RAR}
Sort column (?) descending

This would produce a table of S&P 500 stocks that would rank (sort) such stocks with the best (highest) risk-adjusted returns at the top.

Not sure if this really means anything, but it’s just something I would like to work on. Maybe I can show you next Saturday if you’re going to be at our local VectorVest User Group meeting. Will you be there?
