I get the SPY overlaid on my results when i apply the following. The problem is the values can have very different magnitudes. Does anybody know how to normalize them to the same Y-axis scale?
* Note - I just randomly chose a couple stocks to show the diffrences
On a side note, if I replace the above with: set{spy,ind(^spy,close)} SF adjusts the closing value of spy to 51.21? I did that by accident switching between spy and ^spx. Strange?
Thanks for any suggestions! Justin

Concerning your side-note, as indicated previously StockFetcher does not support the index symbol "^SPY" (we do support the ETF "SPY".) Since ^SPY does not exist, it appears the plot you are seeing is from the first stock in the list, "A".
Hope that helps!
StockFetcher Support.

Thanks for the response Four. I decided to breakdown my normalization step by step and display the results thru add column to find out why I kept getting syntax err. As it turns out the normalization is not the problem, it is that stockfetcher doesn't know what/how to display the results on the main plot. Short of being able to code for the chart display itself, what I want to do can't be done. Its a pity because all the other charting programs I use can easily overlay an index for comparison normalized to the underlying's range.
Since I trade relative strength/weakness and stay with the trend 90% of the time, this feature is very important/convenient as I flip thru charts. Currently I just narrow my results with stockfetcher and then export the results and view them in another charting program.
Thanks again and good trading!
Justin
