[amibroker] Re: Plot Uniquely-Colored Stops?

["longarm61" <norm1@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, all I see there is a comment at the bottom saying to apply the 
following code below the Applystop formula in Indicator Builder:

"Equity(1); // THIS EVALUATES STOPS

Plot(Sell==4,"ApplyStop Sell",colorRed,1|styleOwnScale);
Plot(Cover==4,"ApplyStop Cover",colorGreen,1|styleOwnScale);"

This doesn't appear to be what I need (though I tried it anyway).  In 
case I didn't make myself clear, I just want to differentiate n-bar 
stops from regular sells by giving them differently colored arrows 
(something other than red) when I plot my backtesting results.  I 
assume this would be done by altering or adding to the PlotShapes 
code I already posted.  

Sorry if this is a basic question--I've tried to find/figure out the 
answer, but haven't had luck.  Obviously, I'm no AFL wiz.

Thanks, 

Grant
