Hi I am trying to create a Ratio study: X variable / Y variable. However, both of X variable and Y variable will possibly change its signs to be positive or negative in real time. These will cause the Ratio becomes unstable, moving from one extreme to another extreme (e.g. from +ve zone to -ve zone in 1 bar.) I would like to add a constant to X-variables to solve it. Does Sierra Chart supports ? Or is there any tools or studies in Sierra Chart are able to handle such situations? Thank you very much for your advice and help!

You can use the 'Study Subgraph Add' study to add a constant to your X variable. You can hide the study if you don't want the result to be displayed. Then use the 'Study Subgraphs Ratio' to calculate the ratio between your Y variable and the adjusted X Variable. Note: Don't get the 'Study Subgraph...' and the 'Study Subgraphs...' studies confused with each other.
