Anyone know of a way to overlay two symbols on the same chart? Not have two different symbols in 2 regions on same chart but literally take two symbols of the same time frame and overlay them. For correlation work as an example, I want to overlay NQ on top of ES. I get close but no cigar. Tried add symbol, Study/Price overlay and set to chart region 1 and I get two flat lines.

Thanks.

Can do this in stockcharts, tradeview, Koyfin.

'Add additional symbol' study.

@ninjus As I stated in my original post, that study didn't work for me. Fiddling around and doing a few more seraches, I stumbled on what I think is working now. Overlay (Non-Sync) seems to do the trick here.

Set the study scale setting to independent I think you'll be good.
