Creating charts where the X axis is NOT tied to the time scale?

I was wanting to create a chart where the X axis was not tied to the current timescale (or any timescale for that matter). How do I create that?

As a specific example, let's say the current symbol is SPY. I'd like to create a graph of the Volatility and Sharpe Ratio of the current symbol blended from 0 to 100% against TLT:

On the far left, we have 100% of the current symbol and 0% of TLT. At the center, we have 50% of the current symbol and 50% of TLT. At the far right, we have 100% of TLT. Across the graph we'd plot the Volatility and Sharpe Ratio of the synthetic blended asset.

Is this something QuantShare is capable of performing?

Thanks again,
Josh McCormick

This is not something QuantShare can plot.

Acknowledged. My fallback position would be to do the calculations, print them with Output() or OutputList(), and then pull the results from the text window.

Back to the graph... I can think of any number of things I'd lot to plot which aren't time-based. If you could take a feature request for static (non-scrolling) plots that aren't attached to a timeline, I'd appreciate it. (Absolutely no promises, right? I understand.)

There is a PlotFixed function. Please check documentation for more information.

Oh. Wait...
OH, I see! Thank you!

Example from the manual:
PlotFixed(iff(GapUp(), 1, iff(GapDown(), 2, 0)), 1, "", iCount, "Number of No Gaps - Gap Up - Gap Down", colorBlack, ChartBar, StyleSymbolNone);

X-Axis has three values and remains fixed while everything else scrolls. This is *perfect*, thank you!
