  6. yeah, i've tried this on Amibroker, I don't think I'm smart enough to configure Amibroker to do the 3-2-1 ratio :) Thanks though.

    hi polpolik here is an afl that might help just open heating oil chart up and type the crude and gasoline tickers in the parameter box
    still learning how to do spreads in ami not much help around
    cheers kg

    //2Gasoline +1 Heating Oil - 3Crude Oil

    SetChartBkGradientFill( ParamColor("BgTop", colorBlack),ParamColor("BgBottom", colorDarkGreen));

  9. Auric, thanks for the AFL script. I'll give that a shot later after the trading day. I appreciate the help!

    Have you tried this type of formula

    spread = Foreign( "ticker1", "C") - Foreign( "ticker2", "C");
    Plot( spread, "spread", colorRed);

    - Tools -> Apply Indicator
    (replace ticker1, ticker2 with actual symbol names).

    I suppose, in this case, just changing the formula a bit would give the spread. I'll work on it later and see how it turns out.

    no problem here is rsi of the crack spread just do same as before open heating oil and type tickers in parameters etc should give you a base to play with cheers
