[amibroker] Charting spreads using custom symbols / OHLC candlesticks

["venturerider2" <venturerider2@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm new using AB.  I'd like to be able to chart a spread of two stock 
symbols and I'd like the chart to be a candlestick price chart ? just 
as if I was looking at the price chart of a single security.  So, for 
example, if I were plotting a capital balanced equity spread in Coke 
and Pepsi, I need to be able to plot it on a capital balanced ratio 
(120 shares of Coke minus 100 shares of Pepsi).  In Esignal this is 
accomplished by creating a custom spread symbol, which in this case 
would be "1.2KO ? PEP".  

I plotted a spread in AB using the Foreign function: spread = Foreign
( "ticker1", "C") - Foreign( "ticker2", "C");
Plot( spread, "spread", colorRed);  

However, this does not give me a true price plot with OHLC 
candlesticks.  It plots it like an indicator ? as a line.  Ideally, I 
do not want to create an indicator.  Ideally, like in eSignal, I want 
to create a custom symbol, which corresponds to a custom price plot ? 
this price plot being the ratio adjusted difference between two 
stocks, as described above.  Then I would like to be able to apply 
all of the various indicators (MA's, RSI, CCI, MACD, etc.) to that 
custom price plot.

I covered the AFL Library, UKB, Yahoo Users Group and  AB manuals.  I 
cannot find any information on this.  If you can point me in the 
right direction I would greatly appreciate it.  Thanks.

-Joe
