I would like to create chart like a custom PerfChart with up to 10 ticker symbols in StcokFinder, something like http://stockcharts.com/freecharts/perf.html?[MARK]. Could you help me with this question?
Thanks in advance

If you replace everything below the Inherits line in the Class tab of the RealCode Editor for a RealCode Indicator with the following:

    Sub New
        AutoLoop = False
        '#RECALC_ON_ZOOM_SCROLL
        '# Symbol = UserInput.String = "COMPQX"
    End Sub
    Public Overrides function Plot() as System.Single
        Dim customSymbol As PriceScripting
        customSymbol = PriceData(Symbol)
        Dim Basis As Single = customSymbol.Bar.Value(customSymbol.IndexForDate( _
            ActiveChart.ZoomStartDate)) / 100
        For i As Integer = customSymbol.IndexForDate(ActiveChart.ZoomStartDate) To _
            customSymbol.IndexForDate(ActiveChart.ZoomEndDate)
            AddToOutput(customSymbol.Bar.DateValue(i), _
                customSymbol.Bar.OpenValue(i) / Basis - 100, _
                customSymbol.Bar.HighValue(i) / Basis - 100, _
                customSymbol.Bar.LowValue(i) / Basis - 100, _
                customSymbol.Bar.Value(i) / Basis - 100)
        Next
    End Function
End Class

You should be able to add as many of these Indicators to the same Pane and Scale as you want while Editing each of the Indicators to use a different Symbol.

Thanks, but it did not work. Could you do it in a chart and share the chart?

You should be able to Open an attached Indicator directly into a running copy of StockFinder 5 (and save it from within StockFinder 5 if desired). You could also Save it to the \My Documents\StockFinder5\(Your Username)\My Indicators\ folder and then load it like you would any other Indicator (or Copy and Paste it there from wherever it Saves if you can't specify the destination directory when Saving).

It has the RealCode Indicator above on the Chart ten times. Each with a different Symbol setting and Legend adjusted to match as well.
