AsPercent?

Solution
This was just a sample code I got off the Thinkorswim site. I really don't need the Rate of Change. I am looking for the technical way to add "AsPercent" to an indicator and have it bring up percentages from previous candlesticks, the same way a stock RSI will give the values from previous candlesticks. I have a number of indicators in the works and thought it would be useful.
I do see what you are getting at. I will see if there is a work around.
Thanks.
See if this helps. The addchartbubble function can attach a bubble to each candle. If used in the uppen panel, you can use something like this

Ruby:
input length = 10;
def RateOfChange = (close - close[length]) / close[length];
def R = if rateofchange is greater than 0 then 1 else 0...
Here is a sample code...It will show the value for the last candlestick but not for any previous candlesticks.
Thanks

declare lower;
input length = 10;
def RateOfChange = (close - close[length]) / close[length];
plot R = if rateofchange is greater than 0 then 1 else 0;
AddLabel(yes, AsPercent((close - close[length]) / close[length]));

@Tony909 Can't you just plot rate of change without the if conditions? AddLabel is pretty much useless for what you're looking for.

Ruby:
input length = 10;
def RateOfChange = (close - close[length]) / close[length];
def R = if rateofchange is greater than 0 then 1 else 0;
plot zero = 0;
addchartbubble(!isnan(close),high, AsPercent((close - close[length]) / close[length]));

If used in the lower panel, you can use something like this
Ruby:
declare lower;
input length = 10;
def RateOfChange = (close - close[length]) / close[length];
def R = if rateofchange is greater than 0 then 1 else 0;
plot zero = 0;
addchartbubble(!isnan(close),zero, AsPercent((close - close[length]) / close[length]));
