A version of this is dropping MCO as a customer indicator onto the .spx chart,

but I would like to have the reverse...the option of dropping in any comparative index to line it up as an external symbol for visual examination. .spx would do.

I think that at one time someone coded this as a strategy...in wlab 4 version.

Dropping an external symbol, or an indicator based on its data, that's unlikely. But you can easily code this with GetExternalSymbol(), there are dozens of examples:

External Symbol with Indicator
Plotting 2 symbols on the same chart
Create strategy using one instrument's price actio
Need an Alert created when DJI SPX & IXIC have all moved up or down by 1% during the trading day

...and so forth.

Thanks, I was able to adapt what I needed.

Hi I am able to get 2 symbols each with their own pane on a chart. For some reason it always includes the current symbol my chart is pointing to so I actually have 3 symbols each with their own pane.

I am wanting to achieve having 2 symbols on one pane, which I have been able to achieve how do I get the symbols to scale according to pricing on their own Y-axis (left and right)?

Lastly is there code lurking out there that measures relative performance, so I can add say 5 symbols and they measure performance off a common base say 100?

Thanks

I have found the relative performance code:

The current symbol can't be removed from the chart but you can follow a workaround in this FAQ:

I want to chart an indicator, but without the stock price. Can I hide the PricePane?

Thanks Eugene I had success with the hiding part. See image below.

I am still not sure about this how would I get assuming this chart wasnt representing % but rather price AAPL on say the left Y-axis and MSFT on the right Y-axis

I don't think that multiple Y axes are possible.

Is there another way to have 2 symbols in one pane but look proportional if say 1 is trading around $100 and the other $10.

If it is of any assistance the code for the above chart is:
