Basket Chart Creator – script MetaTrader 4

Real author: MetaQuotes Software Corp., Khalil Abokwaik

The script creates user defined basket of pairs as an offline MetaTrader 4 chart on the desired time frame, and continues to update the chart on new ticks until it is manually stopped.

The basket chart can be used for analysis or even traded via an expert advisor.

Basket price calculation is based on the Geometric Mean method.

As long as it is meaningful to the trader, a basket can contain any type of instruments (currency pairs, stocks, metals, indexes … etc).

Weights can be applied to basket contents in order to normalize is price.
