Is it possible to set up a chart (ideally with overlays) where the charts all start at ZERO - and move from a single point based on percent change? Basically, if I wanted to see ES, NQ, YM, and TF on 1 chart, relative to each other - based on % change up or down from a given point. See the image attached, the key point is everything starting in the same spot.

This can be done by using this study:
Percent Change Since Open

You can then overlay all of these on the same chart by using the Study/Price Overlay study.

Thanks, but at this moment the ES is down .28% per the quoteboard, and this indicator value shows it down .44%. I have the chart set to open at 17:00:00 and end at 16:15:00. In Settings and Inputs I have "Trading Day Start Time" set as the only input value. Any suggestions?

The calculation is relative to the opening price of the day.

Knowing that, is the calculation correct?

No - the quoteboard is right though. Right now the ES is up 4.00. Prev Close was 1872.50. So it is up .0021, the quoteboard shows +.21% and the chart shows +.00533 or .53%. So it appears the chart is off whereas the quoteboard is correct.

The calculation is done relative to the open price at 17:00:00 within the chart itself. Not the prior days close. Understanding that, is the calculation correct?
