Hi, is it possible to plot price data for 1 symbol and volume for another symbol on the same chart. For example, I want to plot Spot Forex price data (eg AUDUSD) but with the Forex Futures volume (CME contract 6A) on the same chart, instead of using forex volume as its inadequate. Another example would be plotting an Index CFD's price data but with the underlying Index Future's volume. This can be done on other platforms but not sure if its possible on SC. Thanks.

Yes this is supported. Refer to:
Add Additional Symbol

You can then add a Volume study to the chart and base it on the Add Additional Symbol study.

Great, thanks for that. I constructed the chart as istructed but seem to have a problem with the volume data displaying correctly for symbol that has been added. In the attached picture, the left chart is a Futures chart with futures volume and zig-zag study. On the right, the base chart is a CFD chart with the Futures chart added as instructed. Futures price data is displaying accurately, however at the very bottom the futures volume is not displayed correctly. Any thoughts on what might be wrong?
