The Deepcharts Overlay Symbol indicator allows you to display the chart of another financial instrument on the main chart, allowing you to monitor multiple instruments at the same time. This can be done by creating a secondary chart area or by overlaying the two charts.

The second chart will be set to the same time frame as the main chart, and whenever this is changed, the second chart's time frame will automatically change as well.
