Hi,

is there a way I can show the 0.5%/1%/1.5%/... percent change regions (from yesterday close) to the right side of the chart?

Thanks but I've tried that one already and all I get is a subgraph showing the %-change as line.
-> http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1537951897645.png

And I can't see a way to change that in the study configs so that I have seperate %-change texts right at the chart at top for each level mentioned (0.5%, 1%, 1.5% and so on)? Please have a look at the screenshot above how it should look like.

Thanks!

Because I'm not getting closer to this I just tested to display the actual % change from prev close as text on my chart and thought I put the "Prev Close from prev Close" study to my chart (hidden) and use the "Text Display For Study from Chart" study to get the SG1 value from the hidden indicator.

But all I get is 0.00 as text and not the actual % change value?!

I made a screenshot....

Change the value format of 'Text Display for Study From Chart' from 0.01 to percent, this works for me.

Thanks @User907968, this is working!

P.S.: Do you have an idea how I can get my initially posted wish to place fixed percent values (0.5%/1%/1.5%/...) at the corresponding price values working?

Have a look at the attached chartbook, maybe not the neatest or most efficient way, but you get the desired effect I think.

@User907968 That's fantastic!!!!! Thank you very much!

What is a little bit strange is that I have two different %-change values for prev close.
In the chart header I have 0.39% DChg% for example and with the Percent_Change_Since_Previous_Close study I have 0.11% (bottom right)!?
