Post From: Symbol Price Overlay

Hey, I had a question about chart overlays/custom studies. Is there a way to display the live price of a different symbol on a chart without opening a full secondary chart or showing candles?

For example, I’d like to have the VIX price displayed directly on my ES chart as just a floating/updating price value that moves in real time as the market changes. Kind of similar to a time overlay or label on the chart — not necessarily attached to the price scale on the right side, and without plotting an actual candlestick chart.

Basically:

* Use another symbol’s live price (ex: VIX)
* Display only the current price value
* Allow positioning it anywhere on the chart
* No candles or separate subgraph needed

Is something like this possible in CI Charts, either natively or through a custom study?

Thanks!
