Hi Eugene,
I just took a closer look to the price tooltip when viewing a chart. Can you outline how WL calculates the "change" and the "change %" ?
In my oppinion "change" should be calculated C-O and "change%" should be C/O-1 formatted as % or multiplied by 100.
What I notice on many bars and for example on CAT:
Date: March, 13th 2012
Open: 109,73
High: 113,38
Low: 109,31
Close: 113,30

(These data I got from Yahoo, they have the same on their website)
And now the values I don't understand:

Change: 4,36 (shouldn't that be 113,30-109,73=3,57)
Change %: 4,00% (shouldn't that be 113,30/109,73-1 = 0,0325 or 3,25% ?)

I would like to attach a screenshot, but don't know how...

Change is Close to Close, i.e., previous bar to bar for tooltip.

Hi Erich,

The change is a change-from-previous-bar.
