WryBoy, you can do a chart of SPY -(SPX /10) in QCharts. You must insert a space before the minus sign and before the / sign. Similar formulas are also chartable.

WB; u don't need ( spx/10 ) to do what u want , it's a ratio ur after. Just do prem.x /spy or prem.x /spx the prem.x will lead ( just a little ) the spikes when you find them on the close lead to a gap the next morning 90% of the time , but to exploit it you have to place the trade before the Spy closes, ( it trades for 15min after the market closes ) ---------------- But I have to call mine in to the broker as web-broker will do it as a next day order after 16:00 however a broker can put it in after 16:00 if u make it by 16:10 and do market it should take. Depending on the size of the spike it's good for 1/2 to 1-1/2 pts. I play the QQQ instead of the SPY , it will react to the spike as good or better. This being a long week-end and I feel the prem.x may change by Tue , I didn't try to play the spike up on todays close. Jim
