Comparing Multiple Symbols on One Chart with an Indicator

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

This short description explains an indicator for examining two or more symbols together on a single chart. It uses the first visible bar as the starting point, while chart buttons control its behavior. The documented controls adjust the scale, invert a symbol, and freeze the current display; a double-click also activates the freeze function.

Input parameters can only be set when the indicator is first initialized, which limits how settings can be changed afterward. The description gives no details about normalization, alignment across symbols, data frequency, or interpretation of relative movement, and it presents no trading rules or performance evidence. It is therefore a basic charting aid for simultaneous symbol analysis rather than a documented comparative strategy.

Key ideas

  • The indicator displays at least two symbols for simultaneous chart analysis.
  • Its starting point is the first visible bar on the chart.
  • Controls support scale adjustment, symbol inversion, and freezing the current display.
  • Input parameters are available only during initial indicator setup.
  • No comparative trading method or performance evidence is provided.
