DYO: Show the Net on the chart


Q:  My objective is to show on a chart the change from the prior day's close in number format.  I am doing this by using a DYO by subtracting "Yesterday Close" from "Last".  This works, but the numerical answer shows up once for each bar on my chart.  Then, when I contract my chart back down to normal bar spacing, all the numbers crunch together.  I only want to see the number for the current bar.  Is there a way I can make the number show up only once? 

A:  Yes, do not show the value as a marker on the bar.  Instead, have the GV or DYO Line with this result on the DYO message line and show the value in one of the Section windows.   OR, a 2nd way would be to have the value as a Line Label and show it in the margin on the right of the chart.   This DYO example shows both suggestions.
