Post From: How to compare multiple symbols?

I wonder if there is a possibility to compare two or more symbols in % (or ratio) gains / losses of a certain time. An immediate apology for making a direct comparison to a competitor, but it will be just a lot easier to explain. In Tradingview there is a “Compare” symbol which essentially does two things: 1. Replaces the vertical axis from prices to % of gains or losses 2. Takes the first point in time (date) that is currently displayed on the screen, and starts drawing both two (or more) symbols by “matching” at this point (essentially the first point for study calculation to be at 0% gains/losses of both symbols at a first date that is displayed on screen), and from that point on both graphs show gains / losses in % See attached screenshot for example of TV, and Stockcharts also have almost identical function as well. After reading the study descriptions (I looked into “Ratio (Bar)” and “Add Additional Symbol”) and browsing this forum, it seems like the quick and straightforward answer that this is not impossible in Sierra because it is not possible to replace the vertical axis into anything else except the price. Also it seems like there is no direct way to start a study at the first point displayed on the screen, although it may be possible with the custom study; or alternatively theoretically it is possible to set the chart to load only from a certain date, but that’s quite long winded. As mentioned it seems this isn’t possible but I just want to check that I am not missing some methods that I am not aware of; I’d appreciate if someone else would confirm this. Many thanks for good software and support, and again apologies for mentioning competitor. |
