I know it is possible to add the study percent change since open, however this shows just a single line.

I need a way so my candlestick chart shows percentage since open, or percentage change since start of year for example.
Is there any way to do this?

If you are asking for a way to display the value of the Percent Change Since Open above/below the candlestick, then refer to the following:
Study Subgraph Above/Below Bar as Text

If it is something else, then please give us additional information as we are not understanding the question.

I want a chart that shows the percentage of change in candlesticks instead of in just a single line.

There really isn't a built-in study to do what you are asking for. This would be something you would have to program yourself (or have someone program for you) using the ACSIL interface to Sierra Chart. Refer to the information here:
