 I would like to add a percent change column from today's open price (NOT from yesterday's close) to my watchlist?  Is it possible to do this in Stockfinder 5.0?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Paul

 You could create the following RealCode Indicator and either Save it and then Load it as a WatchList Column (allowing you to set the Bar Interval) or Drag and Drop it from the Chart to the WatchList.

 Bruce,
I'm not sure why this code is not giving me the right numbers as an indicator nor in the watchlist column. I get a lot of 0.0 or very small numbers.
Thanks

What bar interval is the column set to?  I show a lot of 0.00 when set to 1 minute but on Daily I only see one 0.00 on the SP-500 list.

 I have it on a 5 min chart....OK it works fine on a daily bar chart. . I see why now... the code must be reffering to the bar open rather than the session open as the question was posed above. Still will work ok. I just misunderstood...
Thanks

 Designer,
If you Load it as a WatchList Column, you can set the Bar Interval as desired.
