This is a strange one to be asking. 1. How is it at all possible that this platform can calculate the "Daily Change" % as positive when not only are we red on the day but we're also red from prior day close. My candles print based on GLOBEX so the calculation should be strictly performed from prior day's close then factor that as a percentage. It's impossible to show a positive figure when we're below both levels mentioned as of the time of this current intraday market price. |

You need to look at the information in the "Window >> Current Quote Window" to see the exact numbers that go into that calculation. Those values come from the exchange, so any questions on what they are showing you would have to put to the exchange.

The Daily Change % is calculated on the settlement Closed prices of an Historical Day bar created from *.dly data, not on a 1 Day chart created from Intraday *.scid data. You will need to do your own Daily Change % calculation based on your Intraday 1-0-0 bar that is based on your own Session Times. Try this: 1. Add the Spreadsheet Formula study - Use a formula like this in its Formula field: =ROUND((C-C[-1])/C*100,1) - Hide this study. 2. Add the Text Display for Study study - Reference the Spreadsheet Formula study's ID#.SG# - Enter the Prefix Text and Suffix Text as needed. See attached pic. The left chart is a 1 Day chart starting at Globex open, the right chart is an Historical Day chart. Note the DChg % of the Historical Day chart is positive, but the 1 Day chart is negative. |
