For symbol SPX500, create a 1sec-bar, line-on-close chart.

Add study 'Add Additional Symbol' with symbol ESZ23-CME.

Add study 'Difference (Single Line)', based on SPX500.

First problem: The reference at
Difference (Bar or Single Line)
claims that for 'Input -> Chart 2 Number and Graph' any symbol added with a 'Add Additional Symbol' study should be available for selection. This is NOT the case. I can only choose from other charts.

So, I create another chart for ESZ23-CME, 1sec-bar, line-on-close. In the SPX500 chart study 'Difference (Single Line)' I then reference this second chart.

Second problem: The resulting difference chart in section 2 has obvious wrong values (see attached screenshot).

Any ideas what the problem is here?

The documentation is for the "Difference (Bar)" study, which does allow the use of the Add Additional Symbol. The "Difference (Line)" study does not. We will update the documentation to make this clear.

We do not know why you would have the incorrect values, as this is working correctly for us, even with the multipliers of -1 for each chart, as you have it. If you are still having trouble with this, then get us that chartbook by following these instructions:

Today, after rollover to ESH24.CME, the values seem to be correct. I did not change anything else. Just the rollover. I will continue observing this...
