Thank you Nick. I am afraid too.

I imagine that treating separate graphs differently requires recourse
to the Graph Editor or -graph combine-.

Say I want to highlight only the intersection (price weight) and its correspondent (weight price) for the reader. I cannot quite figure out how to use -cond()- to do that.

The option -text(#y #x "text")- does not appear to work. The option -msymbol()- applies symultaneously to all scatters. I presume I could go the longer route of -graph combine- but I would use it as a last option. Any suggestion?
