  • Two charts

    How do I pull up two charts so I can compare them? i.e. the Dow jones & gold futures on the same chart? Nikkei vs. Dow? etc...

    Hello hck,

    Try one of our overly studies in the EFS Library forums. In the Spreads / Overlays forum there are a couple of EFS formulas you could try.

    PerformanceComp.efs will allow you to compare up to three symbols on a percentage basis as a non-price study. You'll need to create a time template that has a specific number of bars for this one. Please read the notes section.

    SymbolCompareAsNPS.efs or SymbolCompareAsNPS2.efs will allow you to view the price data of another symbol.

      thanks for getting back with me - I was able to download the the formula
      - but how do I add the second symbol?

        Is there no way to put two charts on top of each other?

          Hello Hank,

          After applying the formula to your chart, right-click on the advanced chart, select "Edit Studies" and you will see a Study Properties window. Select your formula from the drop-down box at the top of that window and you will see the formula parameters input boxes at the bottom of that window.

              Hello Hank,

              It doesn't look like your complete message is getting posted. If the first character of your reply is a double quote, it causes problems. Please repost your last two messages.

              Thanks,

                Hi there,
                In symbol compare, is it possible to get a bar or candle rather than line for the lower symbol in the indictor pane ?

                  Hello Scott,

                  See SymbolCompareAsNPS2.efs earlier in this thread. That one will give you the OHLC info.
