Overlaying Charts (Analog)
Overlaying charts is helpful for comparisons of contracts, e.g. seasonals. Overlaying charts
allows you to clearly see relationships, such as whether crude turns down every July.
To overlay charts
1. Open a daily chart.
2. ENTER to make sure the chart is scaled according to the default. That way, the
overlay will be appropriately scaled.
3. Add the Chart Analog Overlay study. Notice the title bar has two symbols (the
same symbol at this point).
4. Enter a second symbol. The top chart takes that symbol, and the title bar names
both symbols. In this case, RBE = top, CLE = bottom.
5. Modify the bars to create a contrast between the bar colors. CLE = orange, RBE =
blue.
6. Right-click the price scale, and click Place Scale to Left to add a price scale for the
bottom chart to the other side of the chart. RBE scale = right, CLE scale = left.
