Mansfield Relative Strength

Mansfield Relative Strength measures an instrument's performance relative to a benchmark index normalized by its moving average.

Plain-language meaning

Mansfield Relative Strength measures an instrument's performance relative to a benchmark index normalized by its moving average.

Why it is useful

Mansfield Relative Strength is useful as descriptive evidence when it is compared on the same definition, source, period, unit and exact listing. It is one input to research, not a verdict.

Where it appears in XMarketRadar

Look for Mansfield Relative Strength in Advanced Chart settings, indicator panels, screeners and technical research for the selected listing and bar interval.

How it is calculated or sourced

Mansfield Relative Strength: Calculate Base RS = (Stock Price / Benchmark Index Price) × 100, compute an N-period moving average of Base RS, then Mansfield RS = ((Base RS / SMA(Base RS)) − 1) × 100. A zero-line crossover indicates relative outperformance vs benchmark.

Inputs, period and unit

Read the disclosed inputs or source, observation period, bar interval, unit, native currency and scale. A value without its source and as-of context is incomplete; unlike units must not be combined.

Worked example

Illustrative only: Stock XYZ trades at ₹250 and benchmark at 20,000 (Base RS = 1.25). If the 50-day SMA of Base RS is 1.20, Mansfield RS = ((1.25 / 1.20) − 1) × 100 = +4.17%. A positive reading confirms XYZ is outperforming the benchmark relative to its trailing trend.

What high and low mean

A higher or lower Mansfield Relative Strength value is descriptive, not automatically good or bad. Meaning depends on the instrument, comparison period, method and related evidence.

Positive, negative and genuine zero

Positive and negative Mansfield Relative Strength values retain the definition shown here. A genuine reported or computed zero is displayed as 0 and is not the same as missing evidence.

When it is unavailable

Unavailable (—) means Mansfield Relative Strength is absent, unsupported, stale under the screen's rules or not computable from verified inputs. It must never be converted to zero or a neutral signal.

Limitations and common mistakes

Technical profiles and indicators summarize historical volume and price. They do not predict order execution, news catalysts or institutional block transactions.

Market-specific differences

The concept is used across all supported markets, but currency, price scale, session calendar, source field and regulatory definition can differ. XMarketRadar preserves the exact exchange context.
