Add Second Symbol to Chart

Hi is it possible to add a second Symbol to a chart in the IB platform - I love this basic platform, but cant work that out so far doesnt seem to be a feature.

Hey @TimExcellent

Are you looking to do this as an overlay, or are you looking to simply have to separate chart panels within the same chart widget window?

Hi Mike,

My first request would be that we could add 1 or more as an overlay, so imagine an Outright ZB as a candle stick chart, with several spreads overlaid on top as line charts.

The second option would be similar to what you mention, so one chart of ZB on region 1, then UB, and ZT on other regions, same scale and time frame. Would really add to it for “relative value” style trading where I’m comparing spreads or correlation between like instruments.
