When I am in my watchlist, and I want to add a column, I am given options such as price percent change for one day, 1 month, etc. I was wondering if you could help me program a pcf to give me the price percent changes for 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year as well. Thank you.

A month is approx 21 trading days.

So 3 month per change :

(C/C63*100)-100

6 months:

(C/C125*100)-100

1 year:

(C/C250*100)-100


Typical values are:

1 month: 21 days
3 months: 63 days
6 months: 125 days
1 year: 250 days
