Hi,

Your message is a bit confusing since what you are asking for is completely different from the example graphs that you have provided. 

I believe that the example graphs are showing the performance to date of each symbol on a single chart (i.e. two independent lines), whereas you appear to be asking for a single line showing performance of one symbol relative to the other.

That being the case, here's an example:

DIAClose = Foreign("DIA", "Close");
IWMClose = Foreign("IWM", "Close");
Diff = (DIAClose - IWMClose)/IWMClose;	// Expressed as a percentage.

Plot(Diff, "Diff", colorRed, styleLine);
