Platform that can create ratio charts eg (CL/DX)/(AUD/JPY)???
Hi guys. I'm based in the UK and currently use ThinkorSwim. Within the platform is functionality that allows you to create ratio charts. Following their takeover by TD Ameritrade they will no longer be providing brokerage services within the UK (from the 22nd August). This means very shortly I will no longer have access to all of the indicators I created (and need for my trading).
I need to switch brokers by 22nd August but it must be to one where I can create ratio charts. There may be platforms that can plot simple ratios but I need one that can plot more complex ones.
for example;
(CL/DX) / (AUD/JPY)
or
(CL/ES) / ((AUD/JPY)/(ES/YM))
Please help me out here guys!
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
Really? I don't have any experience with other platforms/brokers. Is that Ninjatrader? I was thinking of switching to Mirus futures but.....I may need to buy a PC. I only have a mac right now...
So if I were to do that can you chart an indicator on it's own, or does it have to be an overlay on an existing chart?
Thanks

This indicator plots the ratio between two instruments. The default quantity is 1 (1*x/1*y, for example), though that can be changed in the dialog.
Attached is a monthly chart of the Gold/Oil ratio as an example.

Thanks guys. I'm in the process of opening an account with Mirus Futures, and I'll be looking to use NT with Zen-Fire. These scored highest in the 2010 futures.io (formerly BMT) awards (futures category) so I'm sure this package will be very good.
It does look like I'll need to become acquainted with programming my own indicators. Although it doesn't seem like it right now this is probably a blessing in disguise. The data-feed on ThinkorSwim over the last few days has been very bad and I've had historic issues with the data I use to calculate my indicators.
