Percentage Change Indicator
This indicator calculates and displays the percentage change between the current close price and the previous close price. It provides a clear visual representation of price movements, helping traders quickly identify significant changes in the market.
## Formula
The percentage change is calculated using the following formula:
```
Percentage Change = (Current Close - Previous Close) * 100 / Current Close
```
## Features
- Displays percentage change as a bar chart
- Green bars indicate positive changes
- Red bars indicate negative changes
- A horizontal line at 0% helps distinguish between positive and negative movements
## How to Use
1. Add the indicator to your chart
2. Observe the bar chart below your main price chart
3. Green bars above the 0% line indicate upward price movements
4. Red bars below the 0% line indicate downward price movements
5. The height of each bar represents the magnitude of the percentage change
This indicator can be particularly useful for:
- Identifying sudden price spikes or drops
- Analyzing the volatility of an asset
- Comparing price movements across different timeframes
- Spotting potential entry or exit points based on percentage changes
Customize the indicator's appearance in the settings to suit your charting preferences.
Note: This indicator works on all timeframes, adapting its calculations to the selected chart period.
