Hi,
how do I create a Non-Equal-Weighted Index for a basket of assets?

e.g.

Asset A 60%
Asset B 15%
Asset C 25%

The composite tool allows you to create composites (Tools -> Composite).
For a market cap weighted index you would need access to market capitalization historical data.
In the composite formula, you just need to multiply the close price by a specific value (volume, market cap...).

Example:
composite = close * getdata("mktcap", "mktcap");

No, thatï¿½s not what I mean.I donï¿½t want to use any market cap data.

I just want to calculate a composite based on the weights above.

I downloaded an example for an equal weighted index, now I search for an example for a non equal weighted.

Use something like this:
a = getseries("asset A", close) * 0.6 + getseries("asset B", close) * 0.15 + getseries("asset C", close) * 0.25;
