Hello Dan,
yes, this is exactly what i would like to
build. Have you got it work with amibroker ?

Ah Ha!!!
Holdin’ back the good stuff! I knew it! ;-)
I fiddled with the
formula for a few minutes and got the attached. This opens many
possibilities.
I’m sorry to hear
of the issues, but I easily live with styleClipMinMax issues. I never use
WMF anyway. I just clip a screenshot when necessary. For printing,
I can clip a screen shot and then print. This is easy and fast…
Attached are two images
taken using HyperSnap-DX. The inverted image (white background)
is single menu selection – about two seconds.
Printing is even
easier. You set up the page setup to auto-scale to page format, and
invert black and white. The every printed chart is automatically scaled
and inverted. The printed version is excellent and almost the same
as AB’s.
Please document
this. Even with the limitations, this is VERY useful.
Regards,
Dan.

Colors and rendition are 100% correct. Think
about it. In your formula color depends on CURRENT bar value.
So area between CURRENT and NEXT bar is plotted with
selected color. Now when
chart swings above your "borderline" the
color changes from NEXT bar and not in the "Middle" of the bars.
There is no way to specify time between bars.
StockCharts are NOT formula based. They hard coded
fills and the simply fill everything above border line with
one color and everything below border with abother
color.
To create such rendition is somewhat tricky because it
involves overlay of two charts and appropriate clipping of the drawing
to "appear" as interpolated. This is also
possible using AmiBroker but this method has one problem - it is not
printer friendly because printer drivers and windows
metafiles can not properly handle clipping regions.
The same applies to colorizing Stoch overbuy/oversell
levels.
This is can be done using "secret" style
styleClipMinMax:
Stochastic color oversell/overbuy levels
SetChartOptions(0,0,ChartGrid30 | ChartGrid70 );
r = StochK(14);
Plot( r, "StochK", colorBlack );
PlotOHLC( r,r,50,r, "", IIf( r > 50, colorRed, colorGreen ), styleCloud | styleClipMinMax, 30, 70 );

RE: [amibroker] Stylecloud
Hi Thomas,
I started using the
styleCloud. I like it for certain types of charts much better than
histograms but I see one issue with it – colors change with the change of
bar value and not with the change over or under a certain quantitative
value. For example, in the attached Chaikin MF(10) charts of WRES, the AB
version shows odd changes in colors, while the StockCharts version shows the
correct (IMO) rendition.
In the attached
ChaikinStyleCloud.gif chart, look at the 12/7 bar (under the cursor
line). The CMF(10) value for that bar is “-.07”
(negative). The 12/6 value is “.07” (positive).
In the AB version, the cloud color is the green color of the 12/6 (positive)
bar even after the bar drops below the “0” line between the 12/6
and 12/7 bar. In the StockCharts version, the color correctly
changes at the “0” line.
Here’s the color
code for the chart:
CMFColor
= IIf(CMFI >= 0, PColor, NColor);
Apparently AB translates
this as “when the bar CMF value changes to goes over 0, change
colors”. My preferred translation would be “when the interpolated
CMF value goes over 0, change colors. I need to report this to
Tomasz, but haven’t had the time.
It looks like a similar
issue. Is this the issue to which you were referring?
Regards,
Dan.

Hello,
stylecloud looks good, however i have found no way
to plot typical
oversold/overbought areas on any indicator with
cloud correctly.
Can someone help please ?
