Hello,

I tried to create a custom symbol from AAPL/MSFT/AMZN/TSLA/NVDA/GOOG/META

But I am getting blank screen.

I did download all the separate symbol data prior.

It says "historical data download skipped" and then its just blank screen.

Note,

I created symbol like this

{AAPL}+{MSFT} etc...

or should be like this

{AAPL-NQTV}+{MSFT-NQTV}?

Maybe that's why it doesn't recognize?

You need to use the second format you mention ({AAPL-NQTV} + {MSFT-NQTV} +...).

{AAPL-NQTV}+{MSFT-NQTV}?
