Hi, SC
I tried different ways to set up two futures spread chart, but still one chart show only recent data corrected and the other chart no data display, could you help to review and fix it? thanks.

1: NG spread(nature gas): tried different studies and still no display
2: RB spread: recent days data corrected, but others data show different with IB plot.

The recommended way to do this is to use the Add Additional Symbol Study:
Add Additional Symbol

And then use this particular study to calculate the difference:

Note that the Chart 2 Number input with that study will refer to the same chart.

Hi, SC
I tried the add additional symbol method, looks like some spread only calculate recent contract, that means only 3-month data been calculated, could you help to investigate it? thanks.

BTW: use add additional symbol method, I cant change study "Different bar" line color, only can remain green color.

Yes that is true, that when using Add Additional Symbol study you cannot use the Continuous Futures Contract setting for that additional symbol. So you need to use another chart and use the Difference (Bar) study.

For the color settings, refer to:
