I'm trying to create a ratio chart for 2 stock symbols. For example DIA and SPY. I followed the steps to create a 'custom calculated symbol'. That appears to be good. However, when my data feed (IQFeed) attempts to download data I get an error in the message log.

"Error downloading historical Daily data for {DIA} / {SPY}"

Obviously, IQFeed doesn't have that symbol. It has DIA and SPY. How does I configure the custom symbol so it downloads DIA and SPY individually?

Thanks

Historical data support for custom calculated symbols is still under development and there should be no attempt with downloading historical data so we have to see why that is happening.

Thanks for the info. Any time frame on when that feature might be available? I realize you can't express anything close to an exact schedule. I'm looking for something like... it's happen in a sooner release, years from now, never... etc.

I am also extremely interested in historical daily charts for custom symbols!

With regards to Post #4:

Historical data support for custom calculated symbols is available but this only works with Intraday charts. Refer to the information here:
