Where can one quickly see the change and/or percent change for a stock in a chart?The only visale fields are Date,close,open,high,low and volume.Is there a data box or a way to add a field?

Thank you,

Allan

Hi,

- Create a new pane (Right click on a chart then select "Create new pane"
- Click on the "Add Indicator" icon of the new pane (First icon at the top of the pane)
- Select "All Indicators" tab
- Type "Rate of Change" then select the "Rate of Change" indicator
- Update the "TimePeriod" if necessary
- Click on "OK"

To add another field at the top of a chart, add the following lines to the chart formula:

a = roc(10);
plot(a, "ROC10", colorBlack, ChartNone, StyleNoScale);

It is simple. Right click on a chart/pane then select "Edit Formula".

A pane is a collection of one or several formulas.
When you add a new indicator, a new formula is automatically added to the pane.
