I am trying to figure out a way to create a PerfChart in Blocks by entering multiple symbols and plotting their price in the same window to do a performance comparison.

If you check out the link to StockCharts.com you can see what I'm trying to do.  I would prefer to do this in Blocks if it's possible.  http://stockcharts.com/charts/performance/

CProvost,
Check out the Layout I shared in Blocks called Comparison Symbol $100 Scale...I adapted one of Bruce L's and I think it might be what you're looking for. To change symbols on the chart, simply click on the tickers at the top of the chart to get the QuickEdit and type in the symbol you want. Basically the chart assumes you bought $100 of each stock at the beginning of the time shown on your chart and it gives you the return you would have at the end of the chart.
