Arb spreads

[4dog]

Is there any way to plot equity mergers that contain a cash figure? I understand plotinng ratio spreads of two different stocks but is there a way to add in the cash? ex.

.535AT - WWCA but how can I include the $9.25 cash part of the deal?

I am also interested in a solution to this issue. esignal tech, any way to input a constant cash amount into a spread chart and quote?

Can Anyone from eSignal answer the question below?

There have been a lot more mergers with a cash component and I could really use the ability to input the fixed cash amount into a spread chart and spread quote

Hi kbock,

At this point in time eSignal does not have a way to account for mergers, dividends and cash adjustments. In eSignal 7.9 we are re-working the spread engine to allow for manual entries that will adjust for any corporate accounting actions. As we get close to releasing eSignal 7.9, we will be making note of these new features. Thanks for the question.
