Percent From Daily Open For ThinkOrSwim

[JamesB]

How would you create a percent change label for a different symbol such as SPY that would track the change since the market open? Thus, it would not include the percent change from the previous day, just from the open.

Try this

def o = if SecondsFromTime(0930) == 0 and SecondsTillTime(0930) == 0 then open else o[1];
def PercentChg = 100 * (close / o - 1);
AddLabel(1, " Percent Chg from open: " + close + " / " + o + " = " + PercentChg + "%", if close > o then Color.GREEN else Color.RED);

Perfect and you could tell us how to put it on the watchlist, thank you very much, sorry my English

Put this in a custom column editor. I have set the percentage change to absolute value and rounded, as the background color of green/red will indicate whether it is positive/negative.

The picture shows from left to right, the colored custom column, the custom column 13 in the watchlist editor, and the code in the custom 13 formula.

def o = if SecondsFromTime(0930) == 0 and SecondsTillTime(0930) == 0 then open else o[1];
def PercentChg = 100 * (close / o - 1);
AddLabel(1, absValue(round(PercentChg)) , color.black);
assignbackgroundColor(if close > o then Color.GREEN else Color.RED);

As said is there any way to create a script that scans for stocks above or x percent near the open (on the daily)

input x = 98 ;
def o = if SecondsFromTime(0930) == 0 and SecondsTillTime(0930) == 0 then open else o[1];
def PercentChg = 100 * (close / o - 1);
    plot scan = PercentChg > x ;

Hi,
maybe someone can help me since i am not ut in writing scruipt. I would like to know how far the current price is from the DailyOpen in percent. Similar to my picture where I see how far the short is from the EMA.

plot PercentChg = round(100 * (close / o - 1),1);

i changed this,
