Email of the day on creating Preset Templates

I would like the code to access Eoin's Dow/Gold chart which was on this weekend's transcript.

Also is there a chart plotting inflation rate v interest rates.  Again an interesting comment made by Eoin

Thank you for this question which may be of interest to other subscribers. To create the Dow/Gold Ratio follow these instructions.

Select the Dow Jones Industrials Average from the Major Charts Section of the Chart Library.
Click on the Charting tab (located right above the chart area)
Select Gold from the Relative dropdown menu.
Set the date range at the top of the page to 50 years.
Hit Apply.

To save this chart as a template so you can come back to it later.

Click on Charting.
In the greyed out area click on Save.
Give the Preset a name and Click OK.

This will save the ratio into your Chart menu located in the upper right. Anytime you wish to look at the Dow/Gold ratio all you need do is pull up the Dow’s chart and click on the relevant Preset from the dropdown menu.

To create the ‘real interest rate spread’ follow these instructions.

First find the Fed Funds Rate using the Chart Library’s search.
Click on Charting
Click on Other Relative
In the ensuing popup box type CPI and click on search.
Click on US Chained CPI All Items MOM
Change the ratio dropdown to difference.
Click on Apply.

To save this chart as a template so you can come back to it later.

Click on Charting.
In the greyed out area click on Save.
Give the Preset a name and Click OK.

This will save the ratio into your Chart menu located in the upper right. Anytime you wish to look at the chart of real interest rates all you need do is pull up the Fed Funds Rate Chart and click on the relevant Preset from the dropdown menu.

I would suggest adding the Fed Funds Rate and the Dow Jones Industrials Average to your Favourites so they are easy to find whenever you wish to view ratio or spread charts.
