How can I get the actual difference between yesterdays close of the YM relative to real time. In other words I have a text box showing the real time price of the YM but what I want is the actual difference from yesterday and current price. It would be a positive or negative number. If there was a way to color the background of textbox to correspond with +/- that would be nice. Thanks |

You can get the difference as a Percentage using this study: Percent Change Since Previous Close Depending on what you use to display the data, you could use the Color Bar Based on Alert Condition to change the color based on +/-. For instance, you cannot do this with the Text Display for Study, but you could with Study Subgraph Above/Below Bar as Text study. Refer to the information here: Color Bar Based on Alert Condition For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

or another solution to do: Study Daily OHLC + Arihtmetic studies + Text Display For Study Daily OHLC (try parameter "Reference Days Back:") Daily OHLC Using the Basic Arithmetic Studies (for you: Study Subgraphs Subtract/Difference) Using the Basic Arithmetic Studies Text Display For Study | Text Display For Study from Chart Text Display For Study btw "If there was a way to color the background of textbox to correspond with +/- that would be nice." I have custom study for that: 10) Text Display from Study - Background based on positive/negative Ackin's indicators (SCH users requests for studies) - Update list | Post: 170827 |
