Tables are objects that can be used to position information in specific and fixed locations in a script’s visual space. Contrary to all other plots or objects drawn in Pine, tables are not anchored to specific bars: they float in a script’s space, whether in overlay or pane mode, in studies or strategies, independently of the chart bars being viewed or the zoom factor used.
This new functionality enables you to present data in a way that has never been possible before. You can create an auto-generated display panel with relevant data for the current symbol and pin it to the side of your screen, or create a dynamic heatmap, or provide quick access to any information available in Pine — the possibilities are endless. Needless to say, tables can be used in conjunction with all other PineScript features to further improve your existing indicators.
Go to the Pine User Manual’s page on tables to jump right in and start creating tables.
This performance table, inspired by our sidebar’s “Performance” section, helps you track the performance of the chart’s symbol:
//@version=4 study("Performance", overlay=true) var table perfTable = table.new(position.top_right, 3, 2, border_width = 3) LIGHTTRANSP = 90 AVGTRANSP = 80 HEAVYTRANSP = 70 i_posColor = input(color.rgb(38, 166, 154), title="Positive Color") i_negColor = input(color.rgb(240, 83, 80), title="Negative Color") f_rateOfreturn(_v1, _v2) => (_v1 - _v2) * 100 / abs(_v2) f_performance(_barsBack) => _performance = security(syminfo.tickerid, "1D", f_rateOfreturn(close, close[_barsBack])) _performance lastYearClose = security(syminfo.tickerid, "12M", close[1], lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_on) f_fillCell(_table, _column, _row, _value, _timeframe) => _c_color = _value >= 0 ? i_posColor : i_negColor _transp = abs(_value) > 10 ? HEAVYTRANSP : abs(_value) > 5 ? AVGTRANSP : LIGHTTRANSP _cellText = tostring(_value, "#.##") + "%\n" + _timeframe table.cell(_table, _column, _row, _cellText, bgcolor = color.new(_c_color, _transp), text_color = _c_color, width = 6) if barstate.islast f_fillCell(perfTable, 0, 0, f_performance(5), "1W") f_fillCell(perfTable, 1, 0, f_performance(21), "1M") f_fillCell(perfTable, 2, 0, f_performance(63), "3M") f_fillCell(perfTable, 0, 1, f_performance(126), "6M") f_fillCell(perfTable, 1, 1, f_rateOfreturn(close, lastYearClose), "YTD") f_fillCell(perfTable, 2, 1, f_performance(251), "1Y")

And, if you ever want to take a break from trading, you can use Pine tables to play chess with your friends:
