Click on the Performance Chart $\includegraphics[bb=0 0 16 16]{ico_perfchart.png}$ button located at the Menu Bar.
The Performance Chart window will appear.
Under Listings window, click on the equity to set the particular equity as reference for comparison. To remove an equity from the Performance Chart, move the mouse pointer onto the Equity Name and then click on the close(x) button.
To set the Reference Line to indicate a particular point in time to begin comparison, move the Reference Line by clicking on the line then drag to a desired reference date.
When you click on the Performance Chart, these two buttons $\includegraphics[bb=0 0 16 16]{ico_setrefline.png}$ and $\includegraphics[bb=0 0 16 16]{ico_clearlist.png}$ will appear at the bottom left corner of the chart.
