The K-ratio model is based on\nthe ratio of Barron's Gold Mining Index (GMI) to gold bullion, over which Bollinger bands are plotted to\ngenerate adaptive signals that conform to patterns of price behavior in the precious metals market.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo recreate Freeburg's precious metals switch fund system in MetaStock for Windows, you must first create\nthe K-ratio as a composite security. To do this, launch The DownLoader from Meta-Stock and choose New\nand then Composite from The DownLoader's File menu. Make sure the directory specified is the directory\nwhere your weekly GMI and Handy \u0026amp; Harman data are located. Name the composite \"K-ratio,\" then choose\nthe Barron's GMI as the primary symbol and Handy \u0026amp; Harman prices as the secondary symbol. Next,\nchoose Divide as the operator and then click the OK button to add the composite.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOpen the K-ratio chart in MetaStock, plot the Bollinger bands indicator and enter 46 for the number of periods\nand 2.3 for the standard deviations. Plot Bollinger bands again and enter 4 for the periods and 1.6 for the\nstandard deviations. Your chart should look similar to the one in Figure 1.","brand":"store-traders-com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52134168199537,"sku":"\\V14\\C10\\TRADERS.PDF","price":3.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/3843\/6209\/files\/unnamed_21997cf1-7386-405e-bda1-2ca9f31ec9c1.jpg?v=1739669880","url":"https:\/\/shop.traders.com\/products\/v146tradtip","provider":"Stocks \u0026 Commodities","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
