Hello Louis,
Understandably language makes it harder - just like when I was in
France.
The main problem I think is that you are mixing two ideas and the
second one is a little more complex. Also you are switching between
them so it makes it harder for people to follow.
1) You want to plot, for example, S&P500 (Market), ^XAU (Gold Index)
and ABX (stock e.g. Barrick Gold) on one chart for comparison.
2) When you plot the stock you want the corresponding Index and
Stock to Market to automatically plot.
Is that correct?
If so - can you do step 1?
I think Bill gave you a workable answer for step 1?
Yes,step2 can be done - probably a few ways but maybe the forum won't
come up with the super deluxe version - I don't know.
Also - you must have seen these.

I don't know if I will try step 2 or not.
