I've created a synthetic spread between two symbols. I converted the second symbol into a % and then I did the proper calculations to base that off of the main price graph to convert that into price formating on the right scale. Is there a way to link the left scale axis showing the second symbol original price format and that would match up perfectly. Because no matter what left scale calculations, the price structure doesn't overlay with the synthetic spread. Example. Taking APPL chart, Add NVDA to chart. Percentage Price study. substract spread. Add 1. Multiply APPL by that result. Now nvda spread is turned to Appl price formating. This is easier to work with since I know what price to engage, instead of a %. And it would be nice to know what the NVDA price is without having another nvda chart or subgraph taking up space. Independent left side scale doesn't overlay the synthetic spread. Thanks this would be a nice feature to have if it isn't available. |

We are not really sure exactly what you are looking for, as we get lost in all the specifics. But it sounds like you want the original price of the second symbol to be displayed in the left side scale. To do this, you need to have a study that has the original price for that symbol on the chart. You can do this with the "Add Additional Symbol" study and then set the "Graph Draw Type" to "Blank" to not actually display the data. Refer to the following: Add Additional Symbol Chart Studies: Subgraphs Tab >> Graph Draw Type You will also need to set the Scale for the "Add Additional Symbol" to "Independent" and enable the option for "Use in Left Side Scale". Refer to the following: Chart Settings: Use Left Side Scale (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Scale menu) For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
