I’m trying to find a more efficient way to track percent change since open for multiple futures symbols — ES, NQ, YM, and RTY — all on the same chart. The built-in Sierra Chart study already does what I want for a single symbol: it calculates percent change based on the session open time and plots it as a line. That part works perfectly. The issue is, to do this for multiple symbols, I currently have to open 4 separate charts (one for each symbol), add the study to each chart, and then overlay the NQ, YM, and RTY studies onto my main ES chart using Study/Price Overlay. This setup works but requires 4 charts and 7 studies (4x percent change since open studies + 3x study/price overlay studies) which is less than ideal in terms of efficiency, processing load etc. Is there a way to achieve this with only 1 chart and 1 study? I tried to create a custom study but couldn't get it to work. I tried using the "Add Additional Symbol" study but the price values showing on these studies appears to be slightly delayed compared to the respective price charts for each different symbol. If I can't rely on the price being totally current then it isn't a feasible option

There is no more efficient way to do what you are wanting. You either need the separate charts, or use the Add Additional Symbol for the one chart. You can always hide the "Add Additional Symbol" studies, or hide the other charts. For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing
