Visualizing Percent Changes in Watchlist/Marketwatch

[ruley]

I was watching Pat Mullaly's video where referenced a table under his Marketwatch tab that shows multiple columns with percent changes over different time periods. Each cell background changes color depending on the percent gained/lost.

A preview of what he is doing can be seen here

Does anyone know what the script is for this?

Many thanks for your help.

@ruley - this is what I use. You can change to meet your needs.

plot PerformanceValue = Round ((close - close[63]) / close[63] * 100);

AddLabel(yes, PerformanceValue + "%", color.BLACK);
AssignBackgroundColor(if PerformanceValue < 0
                      then Color.DARK_RED
                      else if PerformanceValue > 0
                      then Color.DARK_GREEN
                      else color.LIGHT_GRAY);

Thanks. i'll give this a try.

So I found the shared link to those custom columns on Twitter -

https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1405545855931801600

One question I have when analyzing the shared scripts is the formulas seem off. For instance the 4 week % return is:

def stk = round(((close / close[21])-1)*100,2);

def bmark = round(((close("SPX") / close("SPX")[21])-1)*100,2);

def c = stk-bmark;

plot data = stk;

data.AssignValueColor(color.BLACK);

AssignBackgroundColor (if c > 0 then color.GREEN else if C < 0 then color.Red else color.gray);

close[21])-1 is 4 weeks times 5 trading days Mon - Fri, which makes sense. The 1 wk, 2wk and 3 wk follow a similar pattern close[6])-1, close[11])-1, and close[16])-1 respectively.

BUT then the 5 week % return is

def stk = round(((close / close[29])-1)*100,2);

def bmark = round(((close("SPX") / close("SPX")[29])-1)*100,2);

def c = stk-bmark;

plot data = stk;

data.AssignValueColor(color.BLACK);

AssignBackgroundColor (if c > 0 then color.GREEN else if C < 0 then color.Red else color.gray);

close[29])-1) ??? I don't get it.
the 6 wk is close[36])-1), and it goes on from there (7 wk is close[43])-1).

Anyone have any thoughts as to why it does this?

Here's a list containing links (you have to add after https://tos.mx/XXXXXX) to all of the custom indicators seen in his various videos:
