Hello,

Ah... OK, now I understand what you are after. Sometimes (often) e-mail is not
perfect communication medium :-) 
I did not know that you wanted different colorings that user-definable UP candle color when
Close > Open and DOWN candle color when Close < Open.
So, if I get this correctly you are coloring candles based on something else than Open - Close
relationship. Am I getting this right?

Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
