The Crypto Index Percentage Gain indicator utilizes the PineCoders VisibleChart library to access price data for multiple cryptocurrency symbols. It calculates the percentage gain from the left-most visible candle by using the formula: (close price - open price) / open price * 100, which determines the relative price movement.
The script allows users to customize which symbols to include in the calculation through input parameters. Each selected symbol's percentage gain is retrieved using request.security() function, enabling a comprehensive comparison of performance across different cryptocurrencies on the same chart.
