I’m trying to display percent change in volume from the prior candle to the current candle using the Number Bars Calculated Values study. There is an option for Total Volume Bar Difference, but I want this shown as a percentage instead of a raw difference. The calculation I’m looking for is: (Current Volume - Prior Volume) / Prior Volume * 100 Example 1 (negative): Prior volume = 18000 Current volume = 2500 Result = -86% Example 2 (positive): Prior volume = 5000 Current volume = 7500 Result = +50% Is there a built‑in way to do this? If not how can i add it alongside my current calculated values? Thanks. |

add the study "spreadsheet formula". Go to "settings and inputs", under "formula", type "=((V[0]-V[-1])/V[-1])*100" This will get you the result. "V[0]" is current bar and "V[-1] is prior bar. |

And if you want to display that value in a table like the Numbers Bars Calculated Values, then use the "Numeric Information Reference" study.
