Hi,

Like question, like answer:

Sure there is. Just subtract a series of one futures contract from another. For more information please refer to the QuickRef and WealthScript Programming Guide > DataSeries > Accessing Secondary Symbols.

Educated guess:

But my gut feel suggests that you may be looking for ways of creating a new Bars object for that spread?

See the QuickRef for Bars.SaveToFile, for example. Next helpful resource in this context will be the FAQ:

Is it possible to create a DataSet from bars generated using SaveToFile (*.WL)?
