spread

[thenaz]

is there a formula out there that can calculate the spread of an index for me. Thanks Matt

You may be able to do this without an EFS file. Please take a look at this FAQ, and if that doesn't do the trick for you, please provide details on what you are needing.

I believe...

All you want is...

function main(Symbol2) {
  if (Symbol2 != null) {
    return (close()-getValue("Close",0,Symbol2));
  }

}

JayF,

if I want to trade the spread of the ax z3-dt and nq z3.
Dotay at 15:40 sell one ax z3-dt and buy two nq z3.

1. What do I have to enter? ax z3-dt - nq z3?

2. What do I have to enter if I want to include the eur a0-fx?
ax z3-dt - nq z3 * eur a0-fx?

I think I have to enter

ax z3-dt * nq z3 ???

And with euro a0-fx?

On second thoughts I think I can give the answer to my self.

I have to divide : ax z3-dt / nq z3

Thanks

If you want to calculate the actual value of the spread the symbol would be
2NQ Z3 -AX Z3-DT
As to inserting EUR A0-FX in the equation to convert AX Z3-DT in US$ the symbol 2NQ Z3 -AX Z3-DT *EUR A0-FX will not work as the program calculates it sequentially rather than by math rules and at this time parenthesis cannot be used in symbols.
You could write it as AX Z3-DT *EUR A0-FX -2NQ Z3 taking into consideration that the sign of the spread is actually reversed (should be negative).
Hope this helps
