First, you can always overlay one chart on another and set the overlay to a scale of Independent, which will allow you to see both at the same time, and you can use the left-side scale to see the scaling for the second instrument. If you are going to do this, the best way is to use the Add Additional Symbol study and set the scale to Independent for that study. Refer to the following for the Add Additional Symbol:
Add Additional Symbol

And refer to the following regarding Independent scaling:
Chart Scale and Scale Adjusting: Independent (Scale Range)

And refer to the following for the Left-Side scale:
Chart Settings: Use Left Side Scale (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Scale menu)

-------------------

Now that being said, if you still just want to adjust the values of one instrument to match up to another, then you would still use the Add Additional Symbol to add the desired symbol to the chart, but keep this study hidden. Then use the Spreadsheet Formula (Bar) to do the multiplication where you reference the Open/High/Low/Close from the Add Additional Symbol subgraphs into the equations for the Spreadsheet Formula (i.e. you would have something like "=ID1.SG1 * 10.013" for the Open formula where ID1 is the ID of the Add Additional Symbol and SG1 is the first Subgraph (Open).

Refer to the following for the Spreadsheet Formula (Bar) study (it's the same information as Spreadsheet Formula except that you enter the 4 parameters to create the bar):
