Post From: Overlaying Studys from one chart to another

I am trying to overlay a study onto a chart.

The objective is to analyse the Percentage Change Since “Retail Trading Hours” [RTH] Open between the emini S&P (ES) and emini Russell 2000 (RTY)

1)

I open a chart e.g. ES 5 min

I apply the study Percentage Change Since Open

www.screencast.com/t/bSHTFYEp

2) then I Open a second chart e.g. Russell (RTY – Futures)

I apply the same study Percentage Change Since Open

www.screencast.com/t/lscAkPnBdwqR

Chart setting are set to same period i.e. 5min and Session time i.e. RTH

Both charts have 30days of data

3)

On the 2^nd chart i.e. RTY

I add the Overlay(Bar) study – Price Overlay does not exist as outlined in the “Help” www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/StudyPriceOverlayStudy.php

You will note the settings that I have chosen

ChartNumberToOverlay is set to #2

I choose to base it on the Percentage Change Since Open ID 2

I want to display it under the existing study so I choose Region 3

When I click OK It Overlays Line On Close Chart of the ES not the Percentage Change Since Open

4)

I remove the Study > Overlay(Bar)

www.screencast.com/t/e2AhUBChSqY

5) I repeat the procedure of applying a Study> Overlay (Bar)

I select the Chart Number To Overlay as #2

I leave it Based On: <Main Price Graph>

And choose the 3^rd Region again

This is the result

The exact same

What am I missing – I’ve followed the instructions several times and even tried Overlay(Non Sync) and Overlay(Single Line)?
