[amibroker] Re: Colored Volume Bars

Thanks Jayson for the explanation of why the colors did not change.

As for the grid lines, I had originally tried using "middle" as you 
suggested but because I also plotted the MA of volume with 
StyleOwnScale as well, no gridlines appeared even with "middle" 
selected. Now that I think about it I guess that would be expected as 
there is a contradiction.

The reason that I was fiddling around is that I would like the 
gridlines to be less busy. I get 5 lines. How do I get only 2 like 
the inbuilt volume display?

Cheers,
Anthony
