Hi Dave,
I don't use Stockcharts.com (haven't in years) so I don't recall the color
combinations you refer to, however you can certainly color your candles what
ever you wish. If you wish to post the conditions and color you want, I'm
certain you'll get a number of assists. Or you can put the attached
code (it's pretty old) on a pane and check the code for how to display a
variety of colors for different conditions and then go from there to do your own
modifications. Happy coding.

Subject: [amibroker] Candlestick
Charts
Hi folks,
I like the way Stockcharts colors their
Candlestick charts and am
curious if anyone has decifered the rules and
implemented it in AB.
Even though I am a newbie, it hasn't stopped me
from trying to dig
deep into AB and see what makes it tick.
Editing the Formula for the chart I can see the following line
plots
the closing price:
Plot( C, "Close", colorBlack, styleCandle
);
And this is the line that would have to be modified. Since a
"hollow"
candle can not be created, I would have to use 4 different colors
to
mimick the Stockcharts Candle colors.
I would also imagine that I
would have to create the rules and create
a variable (maybe CC for candle
color) and use that instead of the
"colorBlack"? Hmm, why do I have
different color candles as I see no
code to select Red or
Green?
Here is the code used to modify the color of the Volume
bars:
Plot( Volume, _DEFAULT_NAME(), IIf( C > O, ParamColor("Up
Color",
colorGreen ), ParamColor("Down Color", colorRed ) ),
ParamStyle(
"Style", styleHistogram | styleOwnScale | styleThick,
maskHistogram ) );
For now, let me know if it can be done and
that I wouldn't be wasting
my time. I enjoy a good challenge and am
willing to give it a try but
don't want to spin my wheels as free time is
of short supply.
