Price Difference

[TraderMD]

It is possible in Qcharts to plot the price difference between 2 stocks (example C -JPM). It is also possible to plot calculations such as the following?

.7*C -JPM

Thanks!

In case you may wish to carry these types of expressions in a quotesheet, here's the fully qualified parens format which is required for a quotesheet entry. It's not a bad idea to use parens as a matter of course.
General format: Symbol<space><operator>Symbol ....a space before operator, no space after operator

((.7 *C) -JPM) or
((C *.7) -JPM)

Also, just for the heck of it, with no comment on it's practical usefulness, here's a screenshot of another expression.

Thanks Larry.... thats exactly what I was trying to figure out! Placement of the spaces is critical to achieving the correct spread price.
