Yes, I noticed an improvement in my EQ (calm) having the PRV on the chart itself.

Ok, I'm set up. Does it count in real time? Does it give a percent value of the increase over previous bar? I'm to excited to wait until Monday to see it work. :D

This can be done....

1 set up a separate portfolio call it strech squeeze
2 Enter in symbol for YM then symbol for INDU
3 in the quantity field enter a 1 for YM (Long position)
4 in the quantity field enter a -1 for INDU (Short position)
5 save the portfolio
6 once you bring up that quote page the difference between the two will show as the Total.

voila you now have the numerical offset real time and showing.... you can chart it by right clicking the number and select intraday chart..... but the problem is it charts the dollar value of the two positions.......ughhh!!!!! So close but yet so far away :) And a BIG thanks to Pro for the work on getting PRV calcs on the charts!!

Wow, nice detective work. What do you mean when you say it charts the dollar value of the two positions? Like, the value of the two positions combined, or one line on the chart for each position?

Another idea-- perhaps there is some way to code an elaborate "paint bar" function in QT that would display a STR/SQU indicator right on the ES price chart...
 
Hey, anyway I can use Spyder's formula with Tradestation 8? I know how to color the volume and such but it seems like I'm missing out on some other things like PRV and stuff. Help!

Try adding one more step...

1. Create a portfolio

2. share long of YM07M

3. share short of INDU

4. has $CASH of -X

5. chart the TOTAL of that portfolio
 
I got to use the QT prv function Fri. and it works perfectly. Nice job Eric on getting that added, really is a nice feature. ES and YM prv both in the right place to watch it. Looks like QT will now standard equipment. :D

Sorry for the confusion, it charts the dollar value of the portfolio (long YM / short INDU).

I am unfamiliar with the paint bar function... but I will look into it, thanks for the suggestion.

I'll give asking them a shot later this summer... in the meanwhile, anyone who wants the STR/SQU feature in QT, SAY SO if you haven't already. I think the Medveds can be swayed by a perception of demand. In my next lobbying effort if I have posts to link to as evidence of this, it might help.

Tell them they have another paying subscriber for sure if str/sq is added to QT :-)

Or in other words: the feature of graphing the difference between two symbols. Not a ridiculous feature to have I think for serious charting software.
