Dynamic Labels

Hello Friends,

I have this code that shows me the difference between EMA and candle close. But this is showing only for the last candle and not on the specific candle I select. How can I make it dynamic to show the value for the candle I select?

def EMA8 = expAverage(close, 8);
def lastprice = close;
def diff = absValue(ema8 - lastprice);
addlabel(yes, diff, COLOR.yellOW);
 
Solution
Thanks....may be an option.

But I dont see this. can you detail me more? Do I need make any changes to the code?

Here is what I did...1) added this indicator and moved it to the top. But nothing showed up

Here is a link to a chart with the above code. The indicator is named EMA. As you move your cursor over the candles, look at the line with the prices and you will see EMA in a cyan color. The value displayed is the Diff you wanted. Refer to the image below. https://tos.mx/as3VkNE

You could try this workaround that will allow you to hover your mouse over a candle and dynamically see the Diff.
1. Name the study: EMA
2. Place it at the top of your studies

is there anyway to display this as a percentage?
