Studies vs custom Calc symbol. Which would be most accurate data for trading? Bar study, the arithmetic or cal symbol? Ratio to be used for performance of symbol and correct weighting for trading difference. Thanks

They are going to give you essentially the same information. But the Custom Calculated Symbol is overall easier to work with if you are wanting to scale one instrument relative to another, as you can just enter that scaling in the symbol entry.

Refer to the information for the Custom Calculated Symbols here:
Custom Calculated Symbols

And/Or refer to the Arithmetic studies here:
