RE: [amibroker] I don't have a line between each month ? Extension, AmiBroker Email List Archive

Occasionally I use also hour lines, which can be turned on and off. See code below.

Title = EncodeColor(4)+ _DEFAULT_NAME()+"; "+EncodeColor(1) + StrFormat("{{NAME}} - {{INTERVAL}} ; {{DATE}}; O=%g, H=%g, L=%g, C=%g (%.1f%%)
{{VALUES}}", O, H, L, C, SelectedValue( ROC( C, 1 ) ) );
SetChartOptions(2,chartShowDates);
SetChartBkColor( colorLightGrey ) ;
HourLineSel=ParamToggle("Hour Separator On","No|Yes",1);
Plot(C,"C",1,64);

//Current Month in green
Vertical=IIf(Month()!=Ref(Month(),-1),1,0);
Plotcolor = IIf(Now(format=7) ==Month(),colorGreen,IIf(Month()!=Ref(Month(),-1),1,colorLightGrey));
Plot(Vertical,"",Plotcolor,styleHistogram|styleOwnScale|styleNoLabel);

//Current Day in blue
Vertical=IIf(DateNum()!=Ref(DateNum(),-1),1,0);
Plotcolor = IIf(Now(format=3) ==DateNum(),6,IIf(DateNum()!=Ref(DateNum(),-1),1,colorLightGrey));
Plot(Vertical,"",Plotcolor,styleHistogram|styleOwnScale|styleNoLabel);

//Hour Separation
if(HourLineSel)
{
Vertical=IIf(Hour()!=Ref(Hour(),-1),1,0);
Plot(Vertical,"",colorGrey50,styleHistogram|styleOwnScale|styleNoLabel);
}

1. You should see a monthly separator in Daily, not in Monthly timeframe. Similarly you will not see a daily separator in Daily timeframe.

2. Verify that grid and background are set to different colors in Tools/Preferences/ Colors: The fact that you see a monthly separator in 5-15 min. suggest that they are different.

3. Verify that there is no code overriding the Preferences settings, for example SetChartBkColor( colorBlack ) when grid color is set to black.

Personally, I don’t use the separators selected in the Preferences, because the dot separations are too far spaced apart to be easily seen when stepping rapidly through a chart.

Instead I use code like shown below (most recent month/day are in different colors than previous months/days) . In the sub-daily timeframes this will show vertical lines at daily/monthly starts. In the daily/weekly/ monthly time frame this will result in small tick marks at the day/week/month bars.

SetChartOptions(2,chartShowDates);
SetChartBkColor( colorLightGrey ) ;
Plot(C,"C",1,64);
Vertical=IIf( Month()!= Ref(Month( ),-1),1,0);
//Current Month in green
Plotcolor = IIf(Now(format=7) ==Month(),colorGreen,IIf(Month() !=Ref(Month( ),-1),1,colorLightGrey));
Plot(Vertical,"",Plotcolor,styleHistogram|styleOwnScale|styleNoLabel);

//Current Day in bluegreen
Vertical=IIf( DateNum() !=Ref(DateNum( ),-1),1,0);
Plotcolor = IIf(Now(format=3) ==DateNum(),6,IIf(DateNum( )!=Ref(DateNum( ),-1),1,colorLightGrey));
Plot(Vertical,"",Plotcolor,styleHistogram|styleOwnScale|styleNoLabel);

But I don't have a line between each month in Daily and monthly

I'm have It in 5,15 and 60 minute.
