RE: [amibroker] Trade arrow conventions

["Dave Merrill" <dmerrill@xxxxxxx>]

I see 
why you did that; I found it confusing too, so I made sure I understood what the 
default behavior was.
<SPAN 
class=287305004-30122003> 
OTOH, 
I'm not sure making up my own convention is the best plan. For one thing, AB 
still does its internal trade arrows its way, right. Or is there a way to tell 
it how you want them? Also, if I ever send anyone else a chart, it'd be nice if 
I used the common conventions, if there is such a thing.

  I got confused with the way AB does it by default.  So, here's how I 
  do it to make sense for my brain:
   
  Buy   shapeUpArrow   colorbrightgreen
  Sell   shapehollowuparrow   coloryellow
  Short  shapedownarrow  colorred
  Cover  shapehollowdownarrow coloryellow
   
  This way I quickly can see that yellow is where a position is closed, 
  green a long is opened, red a short is opened.

    colorBrightGreenSometimes it seems to supress half of simultaneous 
    sell/short or buy/coversignals, sometimes not. Maybe.I've seen 
    other programs do all kinds of things. Is there a 
    "standard"?Dave
