Symbol #2 as Indicator

[johnr7]

Hi,

I am new to EFS coding.

Currently, with eSignal you can add a second symbol to the chart. However, I do not want the second symbol on the same chart as the first. In other words, I want to use the second symbol like an indicator.

For example, I would like to put MSFT on the main chart. Then put IBM like an indicator below the main chart as if it were volume or something. Hopefully, I could plot it with candlesticks as well.

Is there a published EFS file that does this? Can anyone point me in the right direction to code this myself? Is there a EFS tutorial of some kind?

Thanks - JR

Hello JR,

Yes, we have both of these formulas in our EFS Library. See SymbolCompareAsNPS.efs and SymbolCompareAsNPS2.efs in Spreads / Overlays. NPS2 gives you a simulated bar chart version.

Thanks for the help.

SymbolCompareAsNPS2.efs should do it.

I would like the indicator to look more like the main chart with candlesticks but it will do for now.

Thanks - JR
