Index Plugin

Description:

Create and update custom index charts. An index chart is a composite of other charts. Basically an index is calculated by multiplying each symbol by a weighting factor and then an average of all the weights is used to create the index value. To create a new index, press the "New" button, otherwise an update will update all the index charts to their most current values.

Currently you are allowed a maximum of 10 symbols. Basically there are 2 parameters for each item that makes up an index chart. The "Symbol" is the chart symbol and the "Weight" is a percentage of the symbol to use in the calculation of the index. A weight of 1.0 means 100%, a weight of 0.5 means 50%, a weight of 2.0 means 200% etc. To change a setting just click on the value area.
