In my opinion the best way to handle this because of the limitations of the
combo data series of spreads is to create a custom DLL which can be fed a
parameter file of paired symbols.
The DLL would use the Global Server API and effectively generate a new set
of data streams
which would effectively be new "bogus" symbols...each representing a spread.
All indicators and even radarscreen would then work fine against the bogus
symbols.
