Hello Edward, Yes I ran the code and it looks good. I see the
extra
triangles you placed below the BUY arrows and on top of the
SELL
arrows. Also I noticed the hollow white circles you placed on
the
trades as well. Very interesting coding.
I am learning just how
powerful amibroker can be. My assumption is
that if you can dream it, you
can code it.
I noticed that the actual size of the original trade
arrows remained
the same. I guess to enlarge the actual arrows involves
quite a bit of
work.
How did you know to call the circles "hollow
white circle"? Where can
I get the references to shapes (arrows, circles,
triangles, etc)?
Thank you for the code. I will save it.
