Percentage gain/loss from yesterday close

[krishna79]

Hi,

 

I am looking for a indicator which display percentage increase or decrease in current price with YESTERDAY close.

 

Hope experts out here help me.

 

Thank you

I think you're missing a variable.

 

Do you mean percentage of yesterdays range? Increase or decrease from yesterdays close wouldn't be possible as you don't have a range from which to gauge a percentage increase/decrease.

 

For example if yesterdays close was 10 and today is 12 what percentage would that be?

 

Hope that makes sense.

Hi sir,

 

I have the formula

Yesterday close = 4921 (A)

Current price (LTP) = 4863 (B)

 

1. Percentage = ((B-A)/B)*100

 

2. Price difference = B - A

 

Hope i have clarified

What does LTP stand for?

 

Put this together quickly based on your above formula but not sure what it's supposed to be showing.

Compares yesterdays closing price to current bid price as a percentage fall or rise.

 

Enjoy.
