Hello Hahn,

 

I wanted to know if you could create a watch-list column that captures the previous days %change. This will be very helpful to quickly see if a stock has the ability for continuation.

The second part of this request is to create a highlight.. If the stock closed red the previous day then the color of the percentage text  will be red, if the stock closed green then the color of the percentage text will be green.

plot priorPercentChange = 100 * (close[1] / close[2] -1);
priorPercentChange.AssignValueColor(if priorPercentChange > 0 then Color.GREEN else Color.RED);

Hello Hahn,

So the code isnt capturing the data correctly for percent change of a stock from its previous day.

For example , If I view the column on a Wednesday, morning I would like to see the stocks %change at close on Tuesday from Mondays close.

I have included a screenshot of the behavior from below and how iI would like it to follow using finviz as a reference from 8am this morning,

I had the days reversed. Sorry about that. Been trying to memorize that percentage formula and I seem to have a mental block. I have corrected the code in my answer to compute the values correctly.
