Hello, I need to put these labels with percentage values in the study configuration, those values are very high, I need them above 100, is it not possible for them to change color according to the closing of the candle? I have tried in several ways but it seems that there is no way to do it! Thanks in advance

With regards to the Percentage. It looks like you changed the Value Format to display as Percent for the study that is displaying that information. As such, it is assume that you want to multiply the value by 100 and then display with a % sign. That is why you are seeing what you are. If the values are already in percent and you want to add a % sign, then you would need to add that as a Suffix to the study.

There is not a built-in way to change the colors of studies that are drawing custom text like that.

What I did was make a capture so that he could see that the percentage is very high!

I am trying to get the maximum percentage value to be 100 -100 the lowest.

Could you tell me please,if there is any other type of sttudy which can change color?

I have used the study price overlay but it appears in the header very small, do you know if there is a possible way to make it look like the labels I have in the chart?


Thanks in advance

In terms of getting the values between -100 and 100, you would need to find the way to do the calculation based on where you are getting the information. You could use either the Arithmetic Studies or the Spreadsheet Formula to do the calculations. Refer to the following:
Using the Basic Arithmetic Studies
Spreadsheet Formula

There really is not another study that can change the colors of the Text Display for Study, which is what we are assuming you are using to display that data. And there is not another good way to display the data in that manner. The only option would be to create a custom study to do what you want. Refer to the information starting here:
