Like this?
sysuse sp500,clear
gr twoway connected high date, yaxis(1) ///
ysca(ra(500) axis(1)) ///
|| bar volume date, yaxis(2) ///
ysca(alt ra(200000) axis(2)) ///
ylab(0 10000, angle(horiz) grid labsize(small) axis(2)) ytitle("",
axis(2)) ///
|| bar change date, yaxis(3) ///
ysca(alt ra(-250 600) axis(3)) ///
ylab(-50 0 50, angle(horiz) labsize(small) axis(3)) ///
ytitle(Volume and closing price change, axis(3)) ///
