For some symbols like USDJPY and GER30, the day change amount shown in the chart header is correct, but as you can see, this is not correctly reflected in the DChg% field. Day change is negative, while day % change is positive, which is not correct. Using the FXCM feed from sC. Some are correct by the way: XAUUSD is, for example.

Actually I just noticed that my daily chart of GS has the same problem: DChg = -2.80, DChg%=1.76 ... this data is from IQFeed. So it seems it's not a problem with the data feed but rather with SC? Using version 1116. Quote board is showing correct values, but chart region data line is not.

Based upon what we see, this only requires an explanation:

The Chg you see on the chart is based upon the difference of the current close to the previous close of the chart bars themselves.

The DChg uses the last trade price and the previous closing price for its calculation. This is shown in the Current Quote Window.

The DChg % is the percentage daily change based upon the DChg value.

So based upon this understanding, do you notice any incorrect calculations?

Yes, it is incorrect--notice in the original image that DChg is negative, and DChg% is positive -- this is impossible.
