Hello, I would need to create a spread chart for example, of 1 contact of gold - 10 contacts of silver or Ebay - Amazon.
Is it possible to do this with quantshare? I've been looking at the documentation and couldn't find an answer.
Thanks!

Hi Luis,

Of course you can do that.
Right click on the main chart's pane, then on "Edit Formula"
- Replace the existing formula with this one:

a = GetSeries("Gold Symbol", close) - 10 * GetSeries("Silver Symbol", close);
Plot(a, "Spread 1*Gold-10*Silver", colorRed);

- Click on "Update Graph".

Please let me know if you have any further questions.
