QUANTCONNECT COMMUNITY
Hello Everyone.
I'm simply trying to plot the percentage change of an asset over a given period. I'm doing this so I can workout the percentage change over a given period of time of different assets within the same plot.
I tried using the SetDataNormalization as TotalReturn but unfortunately seems like total return does something irrelevent
My workaround was to use the close price of the frst day, but that would be quite tedious if I do this for multiple assetts.
Thanks!

Hello Hamad,
There are a few indicators that can be used to track the percentage change of an asset during a certain period of time. For example, WilliamsPercentR (WILR). I’ve also attached a backtest to shown how to plot the indicator WILR for different assets. To see the plot, check the corresponding option as shown below. Please refer to this documentation for more information about indicators and indicator-plotting.
Best,

Sorry the backtest is attached here.
