I'd like to display on a chart the change of in points of that symbol since the open. The only one I found in SC's stock studies (Rate of Change - Points) only shows the change in points in a separate region and as a graph. I want it to display in the main chart as a +/- number. Thanks in advance!

You could use the 'Bar Difference' study.
Change the Study Settings as follows:

Settings and Inputs:

Based On - Main Price Graph
Chart Region - 1
Value Format - Inherited
Input Data 1 - Last
Input Data 2 - Open

Subgraphs:

Draw Style - Value On High
Width/Size - 10 or large enough to see clearly
Name Label - uncheck
Value Label - uncheck
Auto Coloring - Based on +/-
Color - Select to show positive and negative change

The quote board also has a column that shows this in case you were happy for this not to be on the chart.

This can be useful where you want to see the change from open of several symbols at once

Thank you guys so much for the help. TT - Brilliant idea! I just changed the input data 1 and 2 to high and low to get the full difference in the candle. Acro - thanks for the reminder on the quote board. I've put that up as well.
