Hi.

I want to create a symbol that is a calculation of two symbols, in this case ES/ZB. I did that by adding ES in study/price overlay to ZB chart, then divided them by study subgraphs divide/ratio. Everything looks fine, but I get a line for the newly created symbol. Is there a way to display it as regular candle sticks?

Thank you.

I just did that and looks good. However is there a way to have rolling contract? When I did {ES}/{ZB} nothing showed up on the chart. I have to do {ESH23-CME}/{ZBH23-CBOT}, but I only get couple days because of new contract. And ESZ22 is no longer traded.

Thank you.

There is not a way to get a "Continuous Contract" or a "Rolling Contract" for the Custom Calculated Symbols. It is a specific calculation of the symbols that are entered so they have to specify a certain contract.
