Any Low Cost Charting Software That Facilitates Synthetic Spreads?

thousands! oh my! ... check out Amibroker.com.... single license ~ $350 TO BUY and own forever + IQfeed $70 monthly for streaming data...this will at least enable you to chart spreads. Here is my code to chart SPY vs other tickers.

SetForeign("SPY",True); //load SPY
SPY5mOpen = Open;

SetForeign("AAPL",True);
Tickr5MOpen=Open;

SigmaHedgeratio = SPY5mOpen/Tickr5mopen; // this generates the spread and code below creates a "virtual ticker" that you can then use to backtest,etc.

AddToComposite(SigmaHedgeRatio, "~Sig"+Tickr,"X");
