It takes a lot for me to IGNORE you, but you can try.

This one is spot-on however, but not on the chart, just keep the tabs open, that's all I do, works great for the price

This specific indicator is just the price change (percent) from prior day of these currencies vs the dollar (NZD/USD, AUD/USD, EUR/USD, GBP/USD etc). These (or the reverse pairs like USD/CHF, USD/JPY, USD/CAD) are present in the Metatrader anyway, so no need to scrape it from a website.

In general, one would download the web page (as text) and extract the value(s) from the html, via MQL, also known as web scraping. However, no need for doing this in this particular case.

I have made the indicator in the pic.

Here is an article (and example code, it is only that it's for bonds..) on how it works (scraping): https://www.mql5.com/en/articles/5204

If you are no coder, as you stated, you would need to hire one, i.e. on mql5.com
