WHAT THIS SCRIPT DOES (PLAIN AND SIMPLE)
This indicator displays the current price of the selected symbol (default: SPX) and the change from the previous bar.

It shows:
1) Current value (price)
2) Change vs prior bar
3) A green/red icon showing up or down


WHAT YOU WILL SEE ON THE CHART
You can choose 2 display styles:

A) TABLE MODE (most positions)
- A small 2-row table on your chart
- Row 1: Symbol + current value
- Row 2: Up/Down icon + change

B) ADJACENT MODE
- A label placed to the right of the current bar
- Shows the same info as the table (value + change)
- You can adjust how far to the right it sits using the Offset input


HOW IT DECIDES GREEN VS RED
- If current close > previous close = GREEN icon and green frame
- If current close < previous close = RED icon and red frame

This is based on the selected symbol’s bar-to-bar change.


INPUTS (SETTINGS)
External Source:
- The symbol you want to display (default: SP:SPX)

Text Size:
- Controls the size of the text in the table/label

Output Position:
- Where to place the display on the chart
- If you choose "adjacent", it switches from table to label mode

Adjacent Offset:
- Only used in adjacent mode
- Moves the label to the right of price by this many bars


HOW TO USE IT
1) Add it to your chart
2) Set External Source to the symbol you want (SPX, NDX, etc.)
3) Pick Output Position:
- Use a corner position for the table
- Use "adjacent" if you want the label near price
4) Adjust Text Size and Offset to fit your chart layout


NOTES
- The display updates on the last bar (so it stays clean and not repeated everywhere).
- This is a visual aid only (no trading signals).
