Custom indexes

I am doing custom currency indexes (candlesticks) by adding components
using the "Sum all charts from list" study.

Everything is fine until I try to include the Japanese Yen.

All the other currencies chart at values around 1.xxxxx
However the Yen charts as 120.xxx, so the index is ruined.

I tried dividing the Yen by 100 using the "Study subgraph divide" study
and checking "Display as main price graph". This study only acts on a
single data point; I selected "Last". It showed a line plot at the desired value of 1.20.
But this produced a nonsensical index chart.

Is there any way to create a yen candlestick chart with values at 1.20 vs 120 (without spreadsheet)?

Problem solved: "It is supported to specify a multiplier for each individual chart.
To specify the optional multiplier enter an asterisk (*) after the Chart Number,
followed by the multiplier value. Example: 1*1.5, etc."

Yes, we were going to recommend to use the multipliers in this case.

There are also the Real-time and Historical Price multiplier settings you can use in Chart >> Chart Settings:
