Overlay Bar Study - Question Re "Multiplier" input

Hi,

I don't think I have grasped what the "Multiplier" input in this study does yet.

I had thought it would be a similar concept to spread charts where you might set the multiplier to compensate for the difference in tick value between two symbols.

However, from my experimentation overlaying a Bund chart onto a Stoxx chart it doesn't seem to make any difference what i set the multiplier, whether it be 1, 100, or 0.01.
I should state that I am using the overlay in the main part of the chart (ie area 1 and not beneath the chart)

Can I ask whether this is an irrelevant input and the automatic scaling used by SC is so good that if I just want to use the overlay bar study for correlations/inverse correlations between two or three symbols I can leave the Multiplier at its default settings ?

Thank you in advance (PS it seems to be a lot better than the Multicharts overlay feature)

If you are trying to match up the prices between the two graphs, then set the Scale Range for the Overlay study to Automatic.

In this way, the Multiplier setting will have a definite effect.
