Hi Sierra, I've created some spreadbars using the custom calculated symbols. Could I get some direction/advice because I'm trying to get historical data source, historical intraday data source and continuation contract etc to these charts. Just looking at the daily data is kinda of myoptic. Attempting to get life of contract ES/ZB spreadbars. I've attached an image using the ratio study. (Ratio Study Image) https://www.sierrachart.com/Download.php?Folder=SupportBoard&download=35220 Using the ratio study does work and creates the image it's just not as granular and misses the closes/opens and gaps at times. Here's an image of the symbol settings and is it possible to add this data? https://www.sierrachart.com/Download.php?Folder=SupportBoard&download=35219 This would be fantastic if this possible. If this can be achieved I know allot of people who would drop CGQ Integrated Client and those outrageous fee's just for the spreadbar data. Thanks Sierra for all your help!!!

Sierra, The image attached is a example of Ratio vs Custom Calculated Symbol. You can see CCSymbal ES/ZB closed the gap and puked. Ratio gives another look. Sierra, I'm not complaining at all. Just bringing this to your attention in hopes to makes Sierra Charts better than it already is. Thank You Sierra for your help. I hope this is possible.

Regarding post #1, the only Symbol Settings you need to set are documented in the Instructions here: Custom Calculated Symbols Regarding post #2 we do not understand what you are talking about there. The custom calculated symbol functionality does work properly. There are simply no known problems with it. Please do not post, without clearly expressing an issue and it is necessary to provide a technical basis for it. And you also cannot compare to the Ratio study because there are going to be differences. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.

Custom Calculated Symbols The first sentence in green say's historical data. I'm asking how can i add historical data which servers etc.. I never said CustomCalculatedSymbol doesn't function properly. I said the exact opposite they are perfect!!! I want add historical data and create life of contract spreadbar chart. The CustomCalculatedSymbol feature works perfect. The link doesnt give direction on what server to use etc.

There is nothing you need to do other than updating to the very latest release of Sierra Chart. There are no special settings required in the Symbol Settings. Once again only the Symbol Settings for the custom formula symbol specified in the documentation need to be set. The others leave them at their default settings.
