Hello,

I'd like to do the subtraction among 2 custom indicators, can someone be so kind and help me?

Let me explain:

I plot a custom indicator (A) from a security, then I plot another indicator (B) from another security (not the first one). Finally I put A and B on the same chart, using the same scale.

Now I would like to subtract B from A and... I can't do it!

Could you help me?

Best regards

Marco

You would need to use the Security function to reference the non-base Security, or use the "P" variable for the non-base security.

In the example below, A is using the non-base security.

Security("TICKER",Fml("A"))-FML("B")

or

p-FML("B")

In the second example, you would have to highlight FML("A") on the chart by clicking on it, then plot the formula.

FML is also more resource intensive so you may want to re-write the formula inside this new subtraction-based formula.
