I'm trying to define current price as a percentile of the last 30 day's highest high and lowest low as a label on daily, hourly and 15 min charts, but this doesn't calculate correctly.

def value = Round(pct, 2);
addlabel(yes,value + "%");

def dayLow = Low(Period =agg);
def dayHigh = High(Period =agg);

def pct = 100 * (dayClose -...
