Q: In Blocks 2, how can I "Plot Industry Comparison" on top of the price plot in the same way as in Telechart?

I am familiar with the the "Add Study to Chart" icon and the choices in "Industry Analysis".

Click on the Add Study button.
Select "Industry Analysis" folder.
Select Industry Price History.

The plot will open in a new pane.

Change the plot type to "line."
Copy Industry price (Right-click -> Copy) and paste (Right-Click -> Paste) the plot in your symbol price history pane.
Righ-Click on Industry Price Select "Scale with."
Select "On own Scale."

brexxx,

Your instructions were very clear. Just one problem occurred. After copying "Industry Price" from its' own plot and pasting it into the Symbol (price) plot, I then deleted the bottom "Industry Price" pane. Each time the "Industry Price" also disappeared from the Symbol (price) plot.

Do I have to dock the "Industry Price" on the left side of the chart to make this work?

Thanks.

Docking the Industry price pane will work, yes. However, if you don't want the extra pane:
Click on the arrow labeled "Sym" (extending from the price block).
Drag to an empty space within the properties window and release.
Select "Select Block and Connect."
Select "Hemscott Main Group Symbol."
Connect "Sym" (Extending from "Hemscott Main ...) to the chart's Main Symbol. (The group symbol will become dynamic).
Connect industry price's Time Frame ("TFP" arrow extending from price) to either the time-frame picker or your main time frame, etc.

Wow! Your instructions are amazing. I think I need more than two weeks on Blocks to figure out how to do what you have just described. I will save this & report back.

Sincere thanks.
