Hi,

 

Is it possible to color the volume bars as per below mentioned conditions:

 

1) color blue - price bar H >ref(H,-1) & L>REF(L,-1) - its an high high higher low bar.

2) color red - price bar H<REF(H,-1) & L<REF(L,-1) - its an lower high lower low bar.

3) color green - price bar H>REF(H,-1) & L<REF(L,-1) - its an outside bar. 

 

Kindly help.

 

Regards,

K

This should be getting better with version 15 (where we'll be hopefully re-writing the formula language) but as it stands right now you can only define 1 color per plot. So within the current limitations, you have to basically plot the volume multiple times with a conditional statement:


Blue:=H > Ref(H,-1) AND L > Ref(L,-1);
Red:=H < Ref(H,-1) AND L < Ref(L,-1);

Green:=H > Ref(H,-1) AND L < Ref(L,-1);

If(Blue,V,0);
If(Red,V,0);
If(Green,V,0);
If(Blue=0 AND Red=0 AND Green=0,V,0)

Then, after the indicator is plotted, you have to select the appropriate plot (this can be tricky as you basically have 4 competing plots in the same window - I find using the Tab key is easiest) then click Format-->Selected Object and change the color/style of each plot to match the condition. Note you would also have to define a color for when none of the 3 conditions is true.

While this can be a little time consuming initially, once you have the custom volume indicator plotted and correctly colored, you can save it as part of a template to more easily apply the indicator in the future.
