Yes, exactly. I was trying to have solid white candles, solid red
candles, solid black candles, and hollow red candles based on what
the behavior of the candle is in relation to the previous candle.
It's a system used on StockCharts and probably elsewhere as well.
Unless there is a specific function for shading candles and
designating the color, I can't do that as far as I can tell.
Anyway, at this point, I'm having trouble just trying to create a
new template that is saved and loaded correctly. I see I have a lot
of trial and error work to do.
Thanks,
quad
