Post From: Spread charts need the ability to reverse symbol order

There are times when one wants to spread the back-month / front-month rather than vice versa. There's no way to do this that works without bugs:

1. "Invert prices" under chart settings/advanced2 does nothing at all.
2. "1 divide by price" study does not work with other studies nor does the DOM/current price reflect the invert. Same issue with "multiply by -1" study.

This is particularly an issue with IB where the spreads are all reversed. One cannot create a calendar spread in TWS that is front/back without serious effort. They're all inverted by default (back/front). The exchange spread symbol list should just simply provide all combos rather than eliminating back months earlier than the front month in the symbol list.
