  1. thousands! oh my! ... check out Amibroker.com.... single license ~ $350 TO BUY and own forever + IQfeed $70 monthly for streaming data...this will at least enable you to chart spreads. Here is my code to chart SPY vs other tickers.

    SetForeign("SPY",True); //load SPY
    SPY5mOpen = Open;

    SetForeign("AAPL",True);
    Tickr5MOpen=Open;

    SigmaHedgeratio = SPY5mOpen/Tickr5mopen; // this generates the spread and code below creates a "virtual ticker" that you can then use to backtest,etc.

    AddToComposite(SigmaHedgeRatio, "~Sig"+Tickr,"X");
