Percent

[kalkanis]

Hi I am new to NT and I trying to build my first indicator. The first two definition of indicator below work fine (gap vs SMA). The third one however produces the same result of the second, while I would expect to get a % difference. what am I doing wrong? thanks


Plot0.Set(Close[0] - SMA(Period)[0])

Plot0.Set((Close[0] - SMA(Period)[0]) / SMA(Period)[0])

Plot0.Set((Close[0] - SMA(Period)[0]) / SMA(Period)[0] * 100)

Hello kalkanis,

Thank you for your post.

Add additional '(' and ')' as in the following example:

Plot0.Set(((Close[0] - SMA(Period)[0]) / SMA(Period)[0]) * 100)

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.

Thank you. It worked. another question if I may. I would like to build an indicator which provides the rank of an instrument based on another indicator. for instance a rank of all instruments based on ROC of the instrument itself (with 1 being the one with higher ROC, etc). I would like to keep the indicator based on which the ranking is done flexible, i.e. sometimes it could be ROC, other times SMA, etc

is there anything similar ready for downloading? thanks
