I saw that Zerohedge shows percentage charts on different sectors/ETFs from the session open. Do i need to build an indicator for that or could that be done with by default?

Re: Percentage Charts
Unlike TS, MC does NOT offer percent change charts. I think it's a big void in an otherwise great product..
Go ahead and suggest it, I'll definately vote for it..
I've mentioned it for years but never got around to submitting it as a feature.. I've been busy with other projects.

Re: Percentage Charts
You can easily plot a spread chart with the included indicators
"Spread - Diff" or "Spread - Ratio".
It is a simple 2-line code.
If you are into any analysis,
you would probably not be satisfied with a plain line.
It is most likely that you would want to add some visual/aural alerts to it;
eg. when the spread makes a spike, you would want to pop an arrow,
or when the oscillation makes a divergence, you would want to change the color,
or the spread reverses to negative, you would want to make a voice alert.
You can do all that with some easy programming.

Re: Percentage Charts
Unfortunately you cannot plot such chart natively in MC, however it should be possible by means of a custom indicator.I saw that Zerohedge shows percentage charts on different sectors/ETFs from the session open. Do i need to build an indicator for that or could that be done with by default?
