Comparison Chart problem

Simply, whatever the Comparison symbols are, I would like them at the end of each line with a bubble mover.

I have looked but can only come close w this: https://usethinkscript.com/threads/how-to-compare-stock-charts-in-thinkorswim.13055/#post-71160 and that's not it.

This is a year to date chart that allows me to change the date to see the difference from, say Jan 1st to June 1 23, and change it back to YTD to Today.

Please note in the chart I changed SPY with INMD to compare w INMD. Is it possible that the Symbol Bubble changes no matter what is on the screen?
I will add in up to 10 symbols on the chart by duplicating what has been done.
Any help appreciated.

Thanks!

[Edited to make it plot when used on a chart where the primary periods and secondary periods charts do not match on a bar by bar basis.]

This combines all of your current symbols into one indicator using the script function.

You can add more symbols using the same methodology between the inputs/plots/bubbles.

Oops, I wasn't clear. I am looking for standardization so that all symbols start the period at zero so I can compare YTD returns and Percent in the price column. Is that doable? I appreciate the help..

See if this is what you are requesting. The first bar on any chart will start at zero.

Code: 
# TD Ameritrade IP Company, Inc. (c) 2011-2023
#
# Source code isn't available.

script lines {
    input secondarySecurity = "TTD";
    input comparisonStyle = {"BAR", "CANDLE", default "LINE"};
    def c  = if barnumber() == 1 then 0 else if isnan(close(symbol = secondarySecurity)) then c[1] else close(symbol = secondarySecurity);

    plot x = if isnan(close) then double.nan else c;
}

input symbol1 = "TTD";
input symbol2 = "DOCN";
input symbol3 = "DDOG";
input symbol4 = "CRWD";

plot x1 = lines(symbol1);
plot x2 = lines(symbol2);
plot x3 = lines(symbol3);
plot x4 = lines(symbol4);

#Bubble
input bubble = yes;
input bubblemover = 3;
def bm = bubblemover;
def bm1 = bm + 1;
AddChartBubble(bubble and IsNaN(close[bm]) and !IsNaN(close[bm1]), x1[bm1], symbol1, x1.TakeValueColor());
AddChartBubble(bubble and IsNaN(close[bm]) and !IsNaN(close[bm1]), x2[bm1], symbol2, x2.TakeValueColor());
AddChartBubble(bubble and IsNaN(close[bm]) and !IsNaN(close[bm1]), x3[bm1], symbol3, x3.TakeValueColor());
AddChartBubble(bubble and IsNaN(close[bm]) and !IsNaN(close[bm1]), x4[bm1], symbol4, x4.TakeValueColor());

that comparison study doesn't have any plot statements, so i don't think it can be referenced/used in another study.

here is a variation of the study from your link and sleepyz bubbles.
i changed the normalize min/max so the other lines are scaled to the chart prices.

i added a vertical offset for the bubbles. but at different prices and zooms, they may or may not line up with the horizontal lines. i tried to get the bubbles to drop a little so the line was near their middle.

Code: 
#compare_percent_00b

# make it an upper
# chart sym is master
# scale other to it
# shift others vert, so they are at same close on bar 1

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

def na = double.nan;
def bn = barnumber();
