  How can I see the 3month percentage change of my instruments? (and 6 month percentage change)?

  You can use the RULER to draw it between two points to know those data.

  My pics show a 3-month and a 6-month difference.

  I used the MONTHLY timeframe to shrink it amd make it easier, but you can use it on any timeframe.

  Do you want a screener?

  Either in my list either as a screener but i find it strange that the software has no way to let you see % change over a certain period for your list of stocks. This seems very basic to me

  This is a screener:

  N = 3 myVAR = high[2] - low myVAR = high[max(1,N-1)] - low PC = myVAR * 100 / high[max(1,N-1)] SCREENER[PC](PC AS "% Variation")

  1 2 3 4 5

  N     = 3 myVAR = high[2] - low myVAR = high[max(1,N-1)] - low PC    = myVAR * 100 / high[max(1,N-1)] SCREENER[PC](PC AS "% Variation")

  N is the number of months.

  seems not correct

  % change 3 months is simply (current close – close 3months ago)/close 3 months ago

  That’s not the percentage, that’s just a ratio.

  The % must be calculated on the older price. If today a price is 90 and 3 months ago it was 100, there’s been a drop of 10 points, which is 10% calculated on the starting price, while it’s (incorrectly) 11.11% if calculated on todays’s price.

  Anyway, if you prefer the calculation on today’s price, there you go:

  N = 3 myVAR = high[max(1,N-1)] - low PC = high[max(1,N-1)] * 100 / myVAR SCREENER[PC](PC AS "% Variation")

  1 2 3 4

  N     = 3 myVAR = high[max(1,N-1)] - low PC    = high[max(1,N-1)] * 100 / myVAR SCREENER[PC](PC AS "% Variation")

  You can safely remove line 2 from my previous code, it’s useless as it is overridden in line 3. I just used it to make some tests.

  Hi Sarus,

  A screener based on your formula looks like this…

  You can apply this screener to your lists and when you work in V12 you can add multiple columns with your criteria…

  % Change

  TimeFrame(Monthly) ProChange3M=((Close-Close[3])/Close[3])*100 ProChange6M=((Close-Close[6])/Close[6])*100 Screener[1](ProChange3M as "%3M", ProChange6M as "%6M")

  1 2 3 4

  TimeFrame(Monthly) ProChange3M=((Close-Close[3])/Close[3])*100 ProChange6M=((Close-Close[6])/Close[6])*100 Screener[1](ProChange3M as "%3M", ProChange6M as "%6M")
