Display current stock price as label on chart

[C4men]

Would there be a way to turn an index into a basic label to place on my chart?

Something like: [ /ES $3690.50, Up $80 (2.5%) ]

Just wondering if possible so it can be a small reference point on my charts.

Thanks, so much!!! That works perfectly, and provides some good code for further labels.

Ooops,

This code is comparing the open to close, for change and percentage change. I'm trying to get the calculation from Previous close to current or Last Price. Also when loading a stock it does not calculate the percentage change. I'm setting the chart to not show extended hours. I tried changing code to prev day close, but still not getting it right.

It appears to work if the asset is negative for the period.

input findsymbol = {default watchlist, manual};
input symbol     = "/ES";

def c = if findsymbol == findsymbol.manual
        then close(symbol, period = AggregationPeriod.DAY)
        else close(period = AggregationPeriod.DAY);
def o = if findsymbol == findsymbol.manual
        then close(symbol, period = AggregationPeriod.DAY)[1]
        else close(period = AggregationPeriod.DAY)[1];
def diff = c - o;
def pct = diff / o;

DefineGlobalColor("UP", Color.LIGHT_GREEN);
DefineGlobalColor("DN", Color.LIGHT_RED);

AddLabel(yes,  (if findsymbol == findsymbol.manual then symbol else GetSymbol()) + "  " + AsDollars(c) + if diff >= 0 then " Up " else " Down " + AsPrice(AbsValue(diff)) + " (" + AsPercent(pct) + ")", if diff >= 0 then GlobalColor("UP") else GlobalColor("DN"));

I found this code elsewhere on this site. The calculation is accurate. Might combine this with some of th code from. Slippage.

#This study plots a chart label for Net Change and Percent Change from prior close (regardless of time period of the chart.

input period_Type = AggregationPeriod.DAY;

def begin = close(period = period_Type)[1];
def end = close(period = period_Type);
def NetChg = end - begin;
def PctChg = (end / begin) - 1;

AddLabel(yes, "Change:  " + AsDollars(NetChg) + "  " + AsPercent(PctChg), if NetChg > 0 then CreateColor(100,200,100) else if NetChg < 0 then Color.Dark_Orange else color.LIGHT_GRAY);

I need to create a new label for this shared chart that will show the percentage gain of each symbol on this comparison chart. There are some labels on the chart already but not what I need.

I need a label that has inputs for symbol and color displaying % gain over the charted period. I will adjust the label color to match the symbols color as designated in the comparison in the comparison study.

The label will show the symbol and % gain. My current label shows % gain for the current day only and changes color according to the days price.

The most efficient way to code would be to add to the comparison study but that is a stock code from TOS.

Any help would be appreciated, I have very little coding experience and ChatGPT was no help for this coding.

Here is the code I use for intraday charts which shows %change today for stocks:

#HINT: This study plots a chart label for Net Change and Percent Change from prior close (regardless of time period of the chart.

input period_Type = AggregationPeriod.DAY;

def begin = close(period = period_Type)[1];
def end = close(period = period_Type);
def NetChg = end - begin;
def PctChg = (end / begin) - 1;

AddLabel(yes, "Change:  " + AsDollars(NetChg) + "  " + AsPercent(PctChg), if NetChg > 0 then Color.LIGHT_GREEN else if NetChg < 0 then Color.LIGHT_RED else Color.LIGHT_GRAY);

This code is for day change on an indicator like $ADD:

input symbol = "$ADD" ;

def C_now = close(symbol);
def c = close(symbol, period = AggregationPeriod.DAY)[1];

def Price = close(symbol);

AddLabel( 1, symbol + " = " + Price, if Price < 1.00 then Color.Light_RED else if Price > 1.00 then Color.Light_GREEN else Color.GRAY );
