Horizontal Price Table

How it works

The script allows traders to input up to 7 unique ticker symbols across different markets like stocks, indexes, ETFs, and cryptocurrencies. It fetches market data using request.security() on the daily timeframe, pulling current and previous day's closing prices for each selected ticker.

For each displayed ticker, the script calculates the daily percentage change by comparing the current price to the previous day's closing price. The calculation uses the formula: (Current Price - Previous Close) / Previous Close × 100, providing a quick snapshot of market performance.

Its clean, color-coded display ensures easy readability and immediate understanding of market dynamics.
