Text readout on chart for current price, price change and percentage change.

[grazz]

I'm using NT8 with IB's data feed. Is there any way to permanently display a simple text readout in the upper corner of each chart showing (from the previous day's close) the current price, the price change, and percentage change? Also is there a way to color this text in red or green if the price is down or up from the previous day's close? Thanks so much.

Hello grazz,

Unfortunately this is not supported in charts. However you can view Net change in the Market Analyzer. Please go to Control Center-->New-->Market Analyzer. Right click in the Market Analyzer and select Columns. Add the Net change column twice. Once with Unit set to Percent and once with Unit set to Price. The Last price column will show the current price. More information regarding the Market Analyzer can be found at the link below.

You can setup cell conditions to color the cells as per the conditions you setup. Please see the following link for more information.

Does the Market Analyzer work for you or are you still wanting to put that information on the chart?

I still would like to display the current price and price change & percentage change from the previous close in each chart corner. And if possible (being picky here) color this text green or red depending if the stock is up or down since the previous day's close. I use sixteen 5-minute charts on NT8 and at a glance, this would provide instant information on how each stock is doing. Because as it stands now, I must enter each symbol into TWS to see how it's trending for the day and by how much. I'd rather not use the market analyzer. Thanks.

Hi did this feature ever get developed so it can be added to the chart?

Unfortunately not, it is still on the list of possible future enhancements.
