CHG FROM OPEN %

How it works

The indicator calculates the percentage change of a stock's current price relative to its opening price during the trading day. It updates in real-time, allowing traders to see price movement dynamically.

The script can be overlaid on a separate volume pane, keeping the main price chart clean. During regular trading hours, hovering outside the chart reveals the current CHG FROM OPEN %. Hovering over the chart shows historical percentage changes and extended hours performance

Why it may be useful

This indicator provides traders with an immediate, intuitive measure of intraday stock performance. It eliminates the need to manually calculate price changes or switch between different screens. By showing percentage change from market open, traders can quickly assess a stock's momentum and direction.

The real-time update feature allows for rapid decision-making, which is crucial in day trading. It offers a straightforward, at-a-glance view of price movement without adding visual complexity to the main chart

When to explore it

This indicator is most effective for intraday traders focused on short-term price movements. It works best during regular market hours when real-time data is most accurate. Traders can use it to monitor stocks during volatile market conditions or when tracking specific stocks with rapid price changes.

It's particularly useful for day traders who need quick, clear information about price performance. The indicator helps in making fast trading decisions based on current price momentum
