Hi Everyone :)

I need a label that shows the percentage change of stock from the open But i don't want the % change label to change and goes down as the stock price is going down. So the percentage number on the label can only change when the price goes up and higher.

The purpose of this label is to show us how many percent the stock was up when it hit the highest price during the day.

I want to use this label on 30min and hourly chart.

Thank you for your help. 🙏

This has optionable bubble and label. The bubble tracks when close changes from the opening bar move higher
