Troder Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 (edited) Any way to make a chart using multiple symbols added together to create your own personal chart? Also, if the price axis could be made into a percentage change of each symbol added together? Would be great to compare when trading ES. (This was put in the wrong discussion area) Edited June 10, 2020 by Troder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 if you mean have multiple symbols shown on the chart, sure. Just open 1 chart. type the 2nd symbol and instead of hitting OK just click COMPARE SYMBOL button (or add "Compare Symbol" indicator to the chart). when you have 2 or more symbols on the chart, MT shows % on the Y axis by default. You can move the Anchor point which is used as a starting point for the symbol comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troder Posted June 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 I was hoping to add the leaders together to create one line or bar. AAPL+MSFT+AMZN+FB+BABA+NFLX etc. Essentially creating my own "index". I did this on TradeStation years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 you can create a portfolio with those symbols. (NOT a watchlist). Specify 100 shares each. Then MT will show a total row on the portfolio. You can then open the chart for the total row and it will do what you are looking for. NOTE: cannot backfill. so have to leave the portfolio open, getting quotes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
