weekly and monthly % change

[SBCM]

is there a way to add weekly and monthly percent change to watchlist a ?

there is no such column available built in. However, you can implement it using scanning. Create a scan that does not do any conditional. Just sets the scan result to be Close-Close[1]

select that scan on the portfolio SCANNER tab, set it to be HISTORICAL and then set the frequency to scan to be week or month.  DO NOT set the FILTER option.  Now when you run the scan, the scan result will be the weekly or monthly change.  if you want, you can even set the column name accordingly.

Thank you for taking the time and responding to my question. 

I must be doing something wrong. I get an error on the saved scan and if wont scan as a result. attached is a screen shot of the scan I created. 

there is no flter and the timeframe is set for weekly. 

I also tried inputting Close-Close[1] imn the to scan result box but it aslo didnt work. 

what am I doing wrong?

You can't do it in "simple" mode. Click on the button on top to switch to Advanced, then just make the scan:

public void MainCalculation()
{
    SetScanResultColumnName(0, "CustClose");
    SetScanResult(Close-Close[1]);
}
