Hello there Mr. Hahn, I was able to write the following code for a custom watchlist to give me the dollar difference between yesterday’s close and today’s open: def o = open; def gu = o > c; def diff = o – c; AssignBackgroundColor(if gap > 0 then color.dark_green else if gap < 0 then color.dark_red else color.gray);
The code works perfectly on the watchlist but when I try to adjust the code to show me the percentage difference, the percentages are always off. I am sure that what i’m missing is very simple but I can’t seem to figure it out. I would very much appreciate your assistance with putting this simple code together. Thanks in advance.
Regards,

Please don't ever do this again:
That is just a complete waste. I hate it when I see folks doing this in their code. There is never a scenario where that is necessary and it makes the code extremely difficult to read and maintain. And please don't ever do this either:
That really is useless (variable names should be spelled out so that they explain exactly what data they contain). I wish I could find out where folks are learning to do this sort of thing and shut it down. Sorry, the longer I do this the more annoyed I get when I see folks learning how to do things the wrong way. My only way to combat this is to call it out when I see it, so the rest of our viewers learn how to do things the right way. Now I will dismount my soapbox and provide my own solution:
