Average Quarterly and Annual Gain/Loss (Color Divided)

Hello!

Simple script here!
(BE SURE TO TRY WITH BAR REPLAY)

This indicator measures the current quarterly gain/loss (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4) and the average quarterly gain/loss.
The average percentage gain/loss for Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4 are calculated and displayed on the chart; colors are adjustable.
By default, Q1 is measured as blue, Q2 as green, Q3 as red and Q4 as yellow.

Also measured is the average annual percentage gain/loss and the current year's running gain/loss.

Years are split by a dashed line, beneath which a label displays that year's percentage gain or loss, in addition to the average annual gain or loss.

Labels and lines update per bar!

A constantly updating line connects the high price of the first session for a quarter to the current high price. The line will delete and restart when a new quarter occurs.
Labels, lines, and line fills are color coded. So, any change to the quarterly/annual color scheme will change the color for all labels, lines, and line fills for that particular quarter!

Thanks for reading!

Release Notes:

Made more compatible with low priced assets!

Release Notes:

Added options to remove lines and labels so only the Quarter divider line fills will show!

Also, added timeframe adjustments to make the script more compatible with intrasession timeframes.

Release Notes:

Added the highest high and lowest low for each quarter. The script will now detect the highest high for Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4 in addition to the lowest low for each quarter.

Let me know if you would like me to include other measures!

The annual connector dashed-white line will now appear when choosing to hide labels and lines.

Script starts at the first year change now!

Release Notes:

Minor change to source code - fixed a string

Release Notes:

Added tooltips to all the labels displayed on the chart.

Hovering over a label displays the corresponding statistics displayed on that label for the S&P 500!

Hopefully, this addition will be useful to position traders hunting for Alpha!

You can compare the current performance of the asset, for the quarter, to the current performance of the S&P 500 for the quarter.

You can also compare the average quarterly performance for the asset to the average quarterly performance for the S&P 500. However, the average quarterly performance metric begins calculating on the start year for the asset on your chart!

You can also compare historical quarter performance of the S&P 500 to historical quarter performance for the asset you are analyzing.

I hope you enjoy the addition and thank you for checking out this script!
