hello,

I think the following code does show "current bar high % above or below day's opening price". As an indicator, it seems to plot correctly but when I use it as a sort column or data column, it does not show the last value I see on the indicator graph. can you help fix it? thanks...

Dim Start As Integer = Price.Bar.Count - 1
Dim Open As Single = Price.Bar.OpenValue(Start)

While Price.Bar.DateValue(Start).DayOfYear = Price.Bar.DateValue(Start - 1).DayOfYear
 Start -= 1
 Open = Price.Bar.OpenValue(Start)
End While
For i As Integer = Start To Price.Bar.Count - 1
 plot = ((price.high() / open) - 1) * 100
Next

I apologize for duplicating this topic on a wrong assumption....

the following code works as an indicator and graphs the percent difference from open in all intraday timeframes.

But when I use it as a data/sort column, it lists values that does not seem to have anything to do with the values it is graphing. 

There is one exception: If the column is unlinked and bar interval is set to "daily", the sort values are very close to the graphed values. 

I'd like to use it intraday while on a 5 or 15 minute time frame. (I do not know if it will nevertheless put out accurate values intraday while it is set to daily... Not tested... I assume it will not...) 

I just cannot figure out how it can put out different values in a condition column while at the same time it is graphing proper values....

plot = ((price.high() / open) - 1) * 100


 (P.S.: Also, the original was too slow in real time and often failed to catch up with the charts, I don't yet know how this one acts in terms of speed)

P.S. 2: I am trying to do these codes by cutting and pasting stuff I see in the forum (often without  understanding what I am doing) so usually  there are some dumb or unneeded lines in the codes I post...
