The script calculates the daily percentage price change by comparing each day's closing price to the previous day's closing price. It determines the percentage change by dividing the price difference by the previous day's closing price and multiplying by 100.
As new trading data is processed, the script continually updates and tracks the largest percentage change encountered. When a new percentage change exceeds the previous maximum, the script records this value and can visually highlight the specific trading day on the chart.
