Updated 1D % Change (Histogram)

1D % Change Histogram (Daily-Anchored)
Description
This indicator plots the 1-day percent change as a histogram above/below the zero line.
It includes 3 calculation modes:
• Last vs Prev Close: compares the latest available price to the prior daily close (useful for an “in-progress” daily change on intraday charts).
• Close vs Prev Close: classic daily close-to-close change (stable per day).
• Close vs Open: session move for the day (open-to-close).
The logic is anchored to the Daily timeframe, so you can view it on 5m/15m/1H charts while keeping a consistent “1D” reference.
How to use:
• Want a live-updating read on intraday charts? Use Last vs Prev Close.
• Want clean day-by-day comparisons? Use Close vs Prev Close.
• Want a session “push” metric? Use Close vs Open.
Notes
• Green bars when value is ≥ 0, red bars when < 0.
• Optional zero line and last-value tag.
• Can run on the chart symbol or a user-selected symbol.
Limitations
• Different data feeds may define “price” differently (last/close/settle), so values can vary across providers.
• In Last vs Prev Close mode the value updates intraday (expected behavior).

Release Notes
Update: Removed the optional “Use other symbol” feature and the symbol selector to avoid confusion. The script now always applies to the chart’s current ticker (no external symbol dependency).Also improved UI/behavior by using a persistent last-value tag (prevents label buildup) while keeping the Daily-anchored calculation and method options intact.
Reminder: Educational use only — no buy/sell signals or trade recommendations.
