Price Percent Gain from a User Specified Date

Calculates price percent gain from 
a specified calendar date.

(1) Use "+" to create a new real code indicator

(2) Copy & Paste in the text below

(3) Click Apply, Save, OK

(4) I named it PPG-FD Price Percent Gain - From Date

(5) Drag chart indicator over as a column, or columns
then "unlink" it

(6) Consider deleting the plot, or just enjoy seeing it rise
from your accurate tactical entry. 

The columns will remain intact, and the date editing feature (to adjust the 
date from which you are measuring) will appear inside the column edit 
as soon as you "unlink" it.
