Post From: OVERLAY charts need help been working at it all weekend!

I am using the Chart study "OVERLAY (Bar) to do this but I am having some serious problems when scrolling and I want to add 1 more symbol. To keep it simple lets use
Crude oil and unleaded gas. The third symbol would be heating oil but i do not want to over complicate this just yet.
I can get it to chart and i see them both. I also have tried fooling with independent scale and left side scale but I keep encountering the same issues which are
THE TIME AND PRICE ARE NEVER LOCKED. so when i scroll on the chart the entire relationship between the 2 symbols changes. SOMETIMES the crude oil will be above the unleaded and other times the unleaded is above the crude at the exact same time on the chart depending on where I have scrolled.
I NEED TO LOCK this relationship. yes i saw you have the percent change study but does this work with OHLC BARS because that is what i want not a line. I would use a line if i absolutely had to but a lot can happen in a bar from hight to low and i need to see the range as well this is why a bar is what i need.

if you google CQG they have a feature called analock where you lock the time and price scales on overlay charts.
I found a post by williamr on this board but it also did not get me what i need done.

Any ideas or a solution to this would be great. It is driving me nuts and I am upset I havent solved this on my own!
thanks in advance
