[EquisMetaStock Group] Generating COT data/plots below its commodity chart

Hi all,

I'm trying to plot relevant COT data beneath a corresponding 
security. e.g. plot SP with SP net COT data below it.

Since I'm trying to keep the COT data in a single file per commodity 
for ease of maintenance I was thinking of using the data fields in a 
MS format file and then plotting the net COT positions as an 
indicator. Now I can do this quite easily on its own but when I try 
plot say SP price in the top window and then my SP-COT in an inner 
window the SP-COT data plots as hardly visible discrete data points 
(i.e. dots not a line chart, even though its defined as line in 
properties). If I do insert sercuity I get the same effect. Why I'm 
trying to plot it this way rather than in independent windows is so 
that the X-axis lines up, i.e. so e.g. 3 March 06 on SP is directly 
above 3 March 06 on the SP-COT plot.

My SP-COT data file which I'm plotting is in this format

Date                  O                         H 
     L                          C                         V                OI
10/18/2005	460210.0	468792.0	60722.00	67697.00	122101	    106544
10/25/2005	466880.0	466894.0	59764.00	69179.00	124804	     115375

where O = CommLongs, H = CommShorts, L=NonComLongs, C=NonComShorts, 
V=UnrepLong, OI=UnrepShorts

and I just plot

O-H; L-C; V-OI;

as an indicator.

This works fine on its own, how can I get this in sync with a weekly 
plot of the associated commodity or otherwise get the COT plots to 
become line charts rather than just dots?

There's a couple data providers out there that supply COT data in MS 
format, but I have no idea how their data files look like - do they 
use all the available MS fields like I'm trying to do or is it 
separate files for each COT data column?

Thanks for any insights,

Cheers
