Reformat script to %

[Tsw85]

Good day All,

Can someone please help me reformat this simple script to display as a percentage with two decimal places? Additionally, if positive I would like it to display as green and if negative, red. I use the script on my watchlists.

Thanks for your assistance!...

input length = 9;
AddLabel(yes, AsText(((ask - open) / open[length]), NumberFormat.THREE_DECIMAL_PLACES));

Since ask was not defined and that pricetype is not reliable to use, it was defined as def ask = close.

input length = 9;
def ask = close;
AddLabel(yes, Aspercent((ask - open) / open[length]), if (close - open) / open[length] > 0 then Color.GREEN else Color.RED);

@SleepyZ thanks so much! Can you please help me reformat this to two decimal places?

Since you wanted a percentage, rounding the data to two decimal places before turning that into a percentage often results in 0%, especially for intraday periods. The aspercentage function does automatically format the data into two decimal places.

Here are percentage methods and fractional methods that you can choose what you may want to use.

input length = 9;
def ask  = close;
def data = (ask - open) / open[length];
#Percentages

#Percentage displaced rounded to two decimal places using aspercent on unrounded data
AddLabel(yes, aspercent(data), if data > 0 then Color.GREEN else Color.RED);

#Percentage displaced on data rounded to two decimal places
AddLabel(yes, aspercent(round(data, 2)), if data > 0 then Color.GREEN else Color.RED);

#Fractions

#No Rounding
AddLabel(yes, data, if data > 0 then Color.GREEN else Color.RED);

#Rounding to two decimal places using astext function
AddLabel(yes, astext(data), if data > 0 then Color.GREEN else Color.RED);

#Round to two decimal places places using round function
AddLabel(yes, round(data, 2), if data > 0 then Color.GREEN else Color.RED);
