Display daily percentage change on different timeframes

[Alex100]

Is it possible to display a label showing the daily percentage change of the current symbol, even if the chart is on a different timeframe, such as a 5-minute or weekly timeframe?

The following code successfully displays the daily percentage change, but only on the daily timeframe. On other timeframes, it shows either zero or 'n/a'. On weekly and monthly timeframes, it does not display at all, and I receive this error message: "Secondary period cannot be less than primary".

def c = close(period = AggregationPeriod.DAY);
AddLabel(yes, Round(((c - c[1]) / c[1]) * 100, 2) + "%", Color.BLACK);

If this isn't possible, could you kindly advise me on how to display the daily price change on the chart, regardless of the timeframe? The TOS % change displayed at the top of each chart is written very small among the bid/ask/last prices, and I'm unable to increase the font size without globally enlarging the font size in 'Application Settings'.

Thank you!

this works if the chart time is less than a day.

this finds the OHLC levels from yesterday
previous day open is cyan. close is yellow.
it compares the close form yesterday to current price.
a label shows the difference. it is colored depending on if it is higher or lower

you could check what the chart aggregation time is ( day or less) and use your formula or mine.

if the chart is set to week, then each candle has open, high, low, close for a week.
then there won't be data for day close. a candle won't have data during the candle.

#prev_day_ohlc_noagg

def na = double.nan;
def bn = barnumber();
def big = 99999;

def d = getday();
def isprevday = (d + 1) == getlastday();
def currentday = d == getlastday();

def prevdayopn = if bn == 1 then 0
 else if isprevday and d[1] != d then open
 else prevdayopn[1];

def prevdaycls = if bn == 1 then 0
 else if isprevday and d != d[-1] then close
 else prevdaycls[1];

def prevdayhi = if bn == 1 then 0
 else if isprevday then max(prevdayhi[1], high)
 else prevdayhi[1];

def prevdaylo = if bn == 1 then big
 else if isprevday then min(prevdaylo[1], low)
 else prevdaylo[1];

plot zopn = if currentday then prevdayopn else na;
plot zhi = if currentday then prevdayhi else na;
plot zlo = if currentday then prevdaylo else na;
plot zcls = if currentday then prevdaycls else na;
zopn.setdefaultcolor(color.cyan);
zhi.setdefaultcolor(color.gray);
zlo.setdefaultcolor(color.gray);
zcls.setdefaultcolor(color.yellow);

def clsdiff = close - prevdaycls;
addlabel(1, "close diff " + clsdiff, (if clsdiff > 0 then color.green else color.red));

Thank you for the script! I'm not sure what's happening, but when I load a daily timeframe it shows a value, and then when I switch to a 5 minute timeframe it shows a whole different value. At some point, on a one minute timeframe, I got a really big number, like 500 or so.

The fact that only works on smaller timeframes is ok with me, but on every intraday timeframe it should consistently display the daily price change for that stock (preferably as a percent change). So there should be no difference at all between daily and intraday timeframes, they should all show the daily change.

I trade futures- and I would love to have this label with customizable start time... so I can evaluate based on sessions etc.

my charts show the same number.
if the chart is just 1 day, then a big number appear. pick a chart time that spans 2+ days
