Wanted: % Price change in last X seconds

Hello,
I did search around so apologies if I missed it.

I am looking to get into a watchlist column(s) a running percentage change, so like current price - price 10 in ago.

Then I can configure the 10 min to whatever time frame.

Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

Hi MerryDay, Sorry I may have explained it poorly:

I'm not looking to jump timeframes on a chart, I want to write ThinkScript code that would logically do this below and operate strictly intraday (so don't need to compare today to 5 days ago)

x = Get Price (now)
y = Get Price (from 34 seconds ago)

z = x-y

What I would do is display that in a watchlist column, not dissimilar to the "ChangeFromOpen" column but I'm looking to have a running value (meaning its constantly updating). I can do something similar with ChangeFromOpen changing the time frequency, but then if I put say every 10 minutes, the value resets as its just taking that as a bound 10 min period, not a running 10 min (again for example, 10:13am to 10:23am)

Thank...

No that wouldn't be possible. Higher timeframe data is available on lower timeframes
But lower timeframes data is not available on higher timeframes. So a minute can only be defined on a minute chart.

Seconds are not available either. The measurement of time is related to the timeframe of the chart.
A 5min chart only has data in 5min chunks. The data you want is not available.
