can anyone assist me with a formula to express the value in percentage terms of  current price above or below a moving average e.g. 50 day sma.  For illustration purposes at time of sending this message GLD is trading +3.04% above its 50 day & XME is trading -5.84% below its 50day.  I would then like to use the formula in a watchlist.  Any help appreciated

Please try the following Indicator Formula.

100 * (C / AVGC50 - 1)

Bruce wow, just over 2 mins for the response thank you. Sorry it was such a dumb question on my part. At the risk of testing your patience, the result would look optically better to my eyes if the % sign was included in the dispayed result, and with no more that two decimal places.   Are you able to help with these also?

You should be able to click on the name of the WatchList Column and select Edit to adjust the WatchList Column. The Properties tab will have an option to adjust Decimal Places in v17. That said, there isn't a way to add the % sign.
