% Change of Current Candle

[BasicBobby]

Can someone help me create a label that tells me the % change difference from the current price to the low of the current candle?

#   % change from close to low
def diff = close - low;
def per = round( 100 * diff/close, 3);
addlabel( 1, per + "%", color.yellow);

def per = round( 100 * diff/close, 3);
addlabel( 1, per + "%", color.yellow);

thanks so much! This works perfectly. Is it also possible to also get the percent change of current price to low of the pervious candle?

here is an updated study with a 2nd section that allows you to pick any price for start and stop, from any offset.

compare it to the 1st part, to make sure that formula is as you think it should be.

# barchg_cls_low

#   % change from close to low
def diff = close - low;
def per = round( 100 * diff/close, 3);
addlabel( 1, per + "%", color.yellow);

# -----------------------------

#   % change from close to low
input start_price = low;
input start_offset = 1;
#hint start_offset: How many bars back is the starting bar.
def start = start_price[start_offset];

input stop_price = close;
input stop_offset = 0;
#hint stop_offset: How many bars back is the stopping bar. 0 is the last bar.
def stop = stop_price[stop_offset];

def diff2 = stop - start;
def per2 = round( 100 * diff2/stop, 3);
addlabel( 1, per2 + "%", color.yellow);
