Symbol Overlays

The new chart window in FutureSource will now allow you to overlay multiple symbols in a single chart window. This is done via the Add and Change Menu. Enter the symbol to be overlaid and use the Add button pulldown. Alternatively, the Compare button will also add the symbol as an overlay in Pane #1.

In order that chart patterns can be compared more directly, the new symbol may also have its own scale. In the example below, the Light Crude data uses the scale on the left
