Release Notes
Script Rework by /bfrBUG -
Colors do not change as scripted. This is a bug that is outside of the actual script.
Added menu item to choose color and transparency .See code notes.

Fixed Bug that reversed color when value is positive/negative and changed randomly on any value over 1. The indicator will now appear green for all positive values and red for all negative values by default. Colors and transparency can be changed for short/long positions or to make it easier to see on custom charts.Release Notes
Updated formula with correct percentage increase formula. Release Notes
Corrected new code errors and updated the code to include the following - - Percentage Multiplier built-in.
- Calculation now returns rounded off values to 4 decimal places.
