[amibroker] Compute Change in %

["anumberintheworld" <anumberintheworld@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello, I would like to compute the price-change which you can see in
the Realtime Quote window in the field "% Change". Perhaps there is
already a variable in AB which contains that value, but I haven't
found it yet.
So I try to compute it by myself.

That's the formula I use:

YesterdayClose = TimeFrameGetPrice( "C", inDaily, -1 );
LastCloseToday = Close[BarCount - 1];  
Change = LastCloseToday - YesterdayClose;
ChangeInPercent = 100 * Change / YesterdayClose;

I think the formula is not correct, because I seldom get the same
value which is in the RealTime Quote window.

I would appreciate any help. Thanks.
