How can I plot the broker value vs a stock?

[Eduardo De La Garza]

I have been able to plot the AAPL stock and the value on different charts. I would like to have them on the same chart so I can compare them. How can I do that? I don't know if I can add a value indicator to the data or what. This is what I have.

import datetime  # For datetime objects
import os.path  # To manage paths
import sys  # To find out the script name (in argv[0])

# Import the backtrader platform
import backtrader as bt
from _extensions.data_definitions import DOHLCVData

AAPL_PATH = "./../../data/datasets/02_processed/eod/AAPL.csv"


class LongAAPL(bt.Strategy):

    def next(self):
        self.order_target_percent(self.data, 1)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    # Create a cerebro entity
    cerebro = bt.Cerebro(stdstats=False)

    # Create a Data Feed
    data = DOHLCVData(
        dataname=AAPL_PATH,
        headers=True,
        fromdate=datetime.datetime(2020, 1, 1),
        todate=datetime.datetime(2020, 12, 31),  # month was in 12
        reverse=False
    )

    cerebro.adddata(data, name="AAPL")

    cerebro.broker.setcash(100000.0)

    cerebro.addobserver(bt.observers.Value)
    cerebro.addstrategy(LongAAPL)

    print('Starting Portfolio Value: %.2f' % cerebro.broker.getvalue())

    # Run over everything
    cerebro.run()

    # Print out the final result
    print('Final Portfolio Value: %.2f' % cerebro.broker.getvalue())

    cerebro.plot()

Of course right now the lines would be the same since I'm buying AAPL 100% but I want so I can see the results after modifying the strategy. Thanks!
