Did you like it there? I always found the city to be stone-cold... bastard-like.
Progress made in the new house, but my desks still are on the way. The cats like it so far, because now they basically have their own room to mess up.
Doing some rudimental analysis, I cancelled my pending short position at 3112 and moved it up to 3203 with an alarm set getting me in front of the screen at around 3180 starting to look for any sign of weakness. What I'm waiting for is RSI-divergence (bearish) on the H4 to get me going.
No charts from that tiny screen I'm using at the moment, I just used the calculator, and 3202 is 2.61-times the 2041-low to the 2389.8-high created a couple of days later.
I'm reading on and off, just got a lot of stuff to unpack.
GL, all.

Here is a compiled version of the MultiLine Chart...inverted thing-a-ma-ding that gator wanted...in case anyone else wants it.
It defaults to how he originally wanted it: Mirror image of EU, in line chart format. Attach it to an EU chart, and set your chart to display as a Line chart, and you'll see this (or similar)...
*Make sure you match your broker's naming scheme for the pair...uppercase/lowercase, any suffix after the pair (EURUSDxfm), # sign at start on some brokers for futures, indices and stocks etc, etc, etc.
I also added the option for a third instrument. Here's an example of EU (main chart...set to Line chart), #EPZ2 (S&P futures on my broker) in orange, GOLD in yellow.
If you don't want to plot a third pair, set the Plot_SymbolTwo parameter to false.
The naming structure may be a little funky, but...
Think of your main chart as the default...SymbolZero essentially.
Next one you add is SymbolOne, and then...
SymbolTwo.
Most important thing is matching your broker's symbol names. After that, if something looks funky...check the SymbolOne and SymbolTwo_Mirroring settings. Each one has independent control, and will essentially flip, or invert, the instrument. So...if Gold looks arse backwards, for instance...turn Mirroring to false on whichever slot it is loaded.
Anyway...see how you get on. I have a few things I want to tweak and tidy up, and then I'll post the source code.
Let me know if you find any bugs, or want anything else in there.

Nice work product!
Congrats
Thanks for the kick in the butt at the start, too. Was dreadfully tired that night, and don't think I would have even taken it on had you not posted your example.
Hope you had a good weekend and are ready to roll for the week.

Agree on Frankfurt. Feels like...ALL business, ALL the time! Major hub of an airport...particularly air traffic control. My only true "mate" there keeps the ATC center's computers afloat. Even when he's off work, you can still see it ALL over his face.
The cats like it so far, because now they basically have their own room to mess up.
Oh yes, you will give us our own room.
