What would be the best way to take multiple underlying securities, and plot them into panel 1 (price) by themselves as price bars that could match the chart type format (range, volume, renko, time, etc)?
for NT7 i have this realized with a tick based syncronization of a custom painted expression chart with the normal base chart useabe with any barytpes. MC can also realize user painted candles as panel chart. I think its can gi the same way...
I don't fully understand what you want to do here but it does sound like a similar problem to my thread here.
The only solution I found was to create an indicator based on price and only plot that - I couldn't see how to work with price itself to create a new data source.
Of course you could do this retrospectively by creating your own symbol data say in csv format and importing through quote manager, but I am sure you would prefer something that updates automatically
This would be a good question for Multicharts as there are a lot of reasons why you would want to transform some data source live, e.g. invert it or combine with another as you are doing.
Hopefully, I can revive this topic and get some help. I have a price overlay of four indices in Sierra Charts that I would like to replicate in Multicharts. I managed to overlay NQ over ES, but when I tried to add in RT & YM, that was a bridge too far.
your last screenshot appears to have data missing, but it's hard to tell just from the screenshot what might cause this. Can you create a standalone chart of YMU9?
In general the problem you will face could be the different prices of the symbols, which could create scaling problems.
Good catch ABCTG! I did not have CBOT on my Rithmic feed until this morning, so I did not have YMU9 on the screen shots I loaded in my previous post.
I am watching NQ at 7566.50 scaled in with ES at 2898.00. I'm not sure exactly how I managed that. I just kept loading and unloading NQ on ES until it worked. Hopefully, I can be more intentional and precise in adding RTY & YM.
Finally, I think I found the key. See the embedded screen shot. Note that in the "Scaling" tab, around the middle, "General" section, the "Overlay Data Series" box is checked. That did the trick!
