 How do I go about finding the actual value of todays open vs yesterdays close? I know it is going to be an easy answer but I can't seem to figure it out. I haven't seen a diff function.

Thanks

 Please try using the following RealCode Indicator:

'|******************************************************************
'|*** StockFinder RealCode Indicator - Version 5.0 www.worden.com
'|*** Copy and paste this header and code into StockFinder *********
'|*** Indicator:Close to Open
'|******************************************************************
Plot = Price.Open - Price.Last(1)

You can Drag and Drop it to the WatchList to use it as a WatchList Column.

Create a RealCode indicator:

plot = price.Open - price.Close(1)

You can then drag it to your watchlist as a new "data column."

mktucker,
If you want the difference between Price and a Moving Average, just Drag and Drop Price onto the Moving Average and select Create Indicator | Difference.

 mktucker,
Add a Rate of Change (Net) Indicator to the Moving Average and set the Period to 1.
