I have searched everywhere for a solution to what I am looking for. The closest I found was this post here referencing how to add a chart as a lower study:

https://usethinkscript.com/threads/add-chart-as-a-lower-study.286/

What I would like is to plot multiple companies, say FB, NKE, WRK, COST ect in percentage form to get a sentiment of the market.

That is to say something along the lines of:

Plot FBclose = FB/FB[1], NKEclose = NKE/NKE[1], ect.....

I hope my explanation is clear. The idea is to get a general feel in chart form of the overall market sentiment using something other than say a vix indicator
 

Thanks for sharing the idea! I just put together something that works similarly to this idea with some visual improvements.

Code:
declare lower;

input SYMB1 = “AAPL”;
input SYMB2 = “AMZN”;
input SYMB3 = "TSLA";
input SYMB4 = "MSFT";
input SYMB5 = "GOOGL";

def data = high(SYMB1)/high(SYMB1)[1];
def data1 = high(SYMB2)/high(SYMB2)[1];
def data2 = high(SYMB3)/high(SYMB3)[1];
def data3 = high(SYMB4)/high(SYMB4)[1];
def data4 = high(SYMB5)/high(SYMB5)[1];

plot one = 1;
one.SetDefaultColor(color.gray);
one.HideBubble();

def sent = data + data1 + data2 + data3 + data4;
def sent1 = data and data1 and data2 and data3 and data4;
plot avg = sent/5;
avg.AssignValueColor(if avg > 1 then color.light_green else if avg < 1 then color.light_red else color.gray);

AddCloud(one,data,color.light_red,color.light_green);
AddCloud(one,data1,color.light_red,color.light_green);
AddCloud(one,data2,color.light_red,color.light_green);
AddCloud(one,data3,color.light_red,color.light_green);
AddCloud(one,data4,color.light_red,color.light_green);

AddLabel(yes, if sent1 > 1 then "Up" else if sent1 < 1 then "Dn" else"", if sent1 > 1 then color.green else if sent1 < 1 then color.red else color.gray);
