Hello, I have a feature request which I believe is currently not possible in SierraChart due to how data is loaded/refreshed in chart windows (I could be wrong about this). But I think it would be an extremely useful feature. Right now due to this limitation I need to use another charting service for this portion of my relative strength analysis which is not ideal. I'll try to explain: In other charting platforms (Trading View, TC2000, etc), it is possible to compare multiple symbols on a percentage y-axis, that is based on the visible bars on the chart rather than a fixed number of bars. For example, in TradingView if I load SPY as the main symbol and then add AMZN as a symbol to compare, this creates a chart with a percentage scale with a 0 value that changes dynamically based on the visible bars. In otherwords, I can see the percentage change in price of both SPY and AMZN over 1 month, 3 month, or 6 months, just by scrunching up the chart and the data will re-calculate immediately. Right now the closest I can get to this in SierraChart, is I can use the instructions here (Percent Change Since Open) to create a percentage scale with two symbols, but if I want to see the percentage change over a different period of time, I need to go in to the chart settings and change the number of days loaded of data each time. Due to this limitation I currently need to use Trading View or TC2000 for my relative strength analysis. It would be great if this could be done within SierraChart. Thanks for the consideration. |

It is not something we currently have in our studies, but you can create a custom study to do this.
