>>Hi Thomas,

>>I started using the styleCloud.  I like it for certain types of charts much

>>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
