OPEN-SOURCE SCRIPT

Stock Cumulative Percent Change

Updated
This script shows the cumulative rate of change of the top 7 stocks held in the S&P 500. These stocks are all market leaders and being aware of their performance can help one to stay on the right side of the overall market.

The percent change from bar to bar is calculated. The percent change of all 7 is combined in an average of those pct changes. Finally starting the day at 0, the pct change for each bar is accumulated throughout the day.

The timeframe can be modified in the options, as well as the list of stocks that are considered.

The original idea came from @TicTocTick and was then coded in Pine by @connorwinemil, credit where credit is due. I modified to make it cumulative and allowed intra day time frames.

Adjusted to allow all timeframes and default to the chart's timeframe.
Release Notes
Expose the windows where the change is suppressed. Set values to standard market open and close.
