Hi all,
I was just curious, is it possible to do basic math equations with two symbols and chart it?
I have used the eSignal charting platform in the past and there was a handy little feature where you could "Create your own symbol that combines multiple symbols using the plus, minus, multiply or divide operators in complex forms, such as (A + B) / (C - D)."
So for example I could do "BHP-ASX/RIO-ASX" and it would plot a price chart which was the result of BHP divided by RIO
Is this possible in Multicharts?
I know you can overlay charts etc. . . . but this is different as you can effectively re-base or see how one stock moves to another without any fancy indicators etc.
Thanks!
