I don't know why you'd want to do this. I don't see any advantage over
using a simple line chart.

Another idea, though, that has merit, would be to create a composite
indicator of that mutual fund using its top ten holdings.  Then, you
would not only have O,H,L and C, but also volume. You could use all
the standard index analysis tools.

I did allot of this type of work with mutual funds before I developed
an intent interest in futures. Futures is just so much EASIER in terms
of narrowing your focus.

TS has some capabilities for working with composite indicators, but I
found the greatest flexibility with Excel.
