Rate of Change returns a value that tells you where today's price is relative to the price of a selected number of days ago, expressed as a percentage of that previous price.  If today's price is 110 and the previous price was 100, the ROC function will return a value of 1.10.  If today's price is 90 and the previous price was 100, the value would be .90.
