Constucting a Futures/cash basis chart ...

[loughlin]

I trade the Dow e-minis.

Does anyone know how to construct a Futures/cash basis chart?

$INDU ( cash DOW) would be a horizontal line stated as 0.

YM U3 ( Sept. contract for Dow e-mini ) would be overlayed as a graph showing how it was trading - either at a premium to cash or a discount to cash. I.E. plus 5 or 10 or 20 pts. OR minus the same...

Any help would be appreciated!

Hi,
All you need to do is type in :

YM U3 - $INDU

....as the symbol you want to use in an advanced chart.

This thread has more details on the subject of spread charting :
