I need to do a simple spread chart with ratios
i.e
(stock1) x 3 - (stock2) x 5 -- chart
just want to chart one symbol minus the other symbol but able to multiply the prices .
Apparently i need to create an expert formula for this ?
any help will be much appreciated . i imagine this will be simple for you experts out there

Wouldn't that be:
[code:1:492205cbc0](Security("us;T", C)*3)-((Security("us;C", C)*5)[/code:1:492205cbc0]

It doesn't have to be an Expert, it can be an Indicator, which is what I am guessing you want since you posted in the Indicators area.

hey neil..... keep in mind that the security function used in that manner is folder sensitive.... by that i mean, using brussell's codes, (Security("us;T", C)*3)-((Security("us;C", C)*5)) all 3 symbols must be in the same folder.... 't' , 'c' and the base security.....
if your online realtime all three will be in the same vendor folder..... if using local eod data they might not be..... in eod data case, spell out the folder path completely....
no biggie.... just expect it....h

thanks for all the replies , the chart seemed to work ok, although i think part of the syntax was a little incorect .
i got it working when i moved both symbols into the same folder .
cheers
