This tool allows the trader to compare the performance of two instruments. A stock against and index, a stock against a stock, an index against gold…. everything is possible.
These are the advantages of the Chart Compare tool:
The two curves are plotted together in one sub window, below the main chart.
This example shows the sub window of trader looking at the S&P 500 future. The trader compares S&P 500 (red line) with the Eurostoxx future FESX (blue line) over a period of twelve months. The Eurostoxx lost -3,07% whereas the S&P grew by +16,07% over the same period.
This example compares Microsoft stock (red line) with the Dow Jones market index (blue line) over a period of 5 years. Microsoft added +338,19% whereas the Dow Jones added +87,33% over the same period.
