Spread Chart

[Momentum]

How can I create a futures spread chart such as between, say, US H4 and TY H4.

I'm interested in difference and ratio.

TIA

Type US H4 -TY H4 as the symbol for the spread or US H4 /TY H4 for the ratio. Notice that there is a space between the first symbol and the operator and no space after the operator and the second symbol.
If you want you can also apply a weight for example 3US H4 /TY H4. The weight can be expressed also in decimals.
Hope this helps

Better yet, use the electronically traded 30 year and 10 year. ZB h4 - ZN h4. Using these you will always have a more accurate spread quote because your spread will be quoted instantly versus the delay the pit offers. These contracts are also more liquid that what trades in the pit, a big plus. Another plus is your orders can be automated and tracked.
