Tinkered around and wrote a script to meet my needs.

Code:
#M.shotter
#MMM Label +/- Price.
 
Input show_MMM_Label=yes;
AddLabel(show_MMM_Label,”MMM:” , CreateColor(237,105,49));
 
input show_Label = yes;

def Market_Maker_Move = GetMarketMakerMove();
def Market_Maker_Move_Plus = Market_Maker_Move + close;
def Market_Maker_Move_Minus = close - Market_Maker_Move;

AddLabel(Market_Maker_Move_Plus, “ ” + Round(Market_Maker_Move_Plus,2), Color.Dark_Green);
AddLabel (Market_Maker_Move_Minus, “ ” + Round (Market_Maker_Move_Minus,2), Color.Dark_Red);

Is there a way to have this indicator work in on-demand where I can go back in time and see the results in the past for different stocks

OnDemand is generally just for getting to understand the app.
Due to lag, limited data, and limited functions; it does a poor representation of reality.

Hello @MerryDay
Is it still possible to get it to work in on demand regardless of the lag or inconsistencies. As long as the values are consistent regardless of the particular day I am looking at, it doesn't matter to me

If you are saying that the indicator works correctly in the live app and is not working in on-demand;
my assumption would be that this indicator does not work in on-demand.

If you are saying that the indicator is not working correctly on your live chart nor on your on-demand;
my assumption would be user-error.

If it is not working for you on the live app; please provide a shared chart link, so members can see the issues that you are seeing.
