As we noted above, the main reason you see a difference between the "Daily Change %" and the "Percent Change Since Open" is that the "Daily Change %" uses the Settlement price, which requires that you compare to the Close of the previous day from a Daily chart. This is going to be different from the Open of the current day in an Intraday Chart.

Getting exactly what you want is going to be a bit complicated, but it can be done. It is a bit more than what we can help you with in this Support Board. Basically, you will have to have two charts, one Intraday and one Daily, so you can get the Settlement price from the Daily chart. And then you will need to overlay the Daily to the Intraday and then use the Spreadsheet Study to align the data so that you can get the Daily data aligned to the Session Times for your Intraday Chart and then you can divide the Close of the Intraday bar by the Close of the previous day's Settlement.

Sorry we can not help more, as we said, it's going to be a bit complicated.

Doing this with a Custom Study would be easier. Refer to the following:
