Hello,

 

You are using wrong Preference setting.

You would need to switch to "None, up candle hollow" in "Use distinct color for candlesticks".

Best regards,

Hi NW Trader,

Your code is great but there is still a problem : for black candles, you can not color the body, only the body outlines and the shadows are painted (see the screenshot below)..
I selected various options in the "Preferences Window" but it does not fix the problem.

Any solutions ?

Thanks in advance for your help,
Regards,

Hi Dave,

 

I don't use Stockcharts.com (haven't in years) so I don't recall the color combinations you refer to, however you can certainly color your candles what ever you wish.  If you wish to post the conditions and color you want, I'm certain you'll get a number of assists.  Or you can put the attached code (it's pretty old) on a pane and check the code for how to display a variety of colors for different conditions and then go from there to do your own modifications.  Happy coding.

Hi folks,

I like the way Stockcharts colors their Candlestick charts and am
curious if anyone has decifered the rules and implemented it in AB.

Even though I am a newbie, it hasn't stopped me from trying to dig
deep into AB and see what makes it tick. 

Editing the Formula for the chart I can see the following line plots
the closing price:
Plot( C, "Close", colorBlack, styleCandle );

And this is the line that would have to be modified.  Since a "hollow"
candle can not be created, I would have to use 4 different colors to
mimick the Stockcharts Candle colors.

I would also imagine that I would have to create the rules and create
a variable (maybe CC for candle color) and use that instead of the
"colorBlack"?  Hmm, why do I have different color candles as I see no
code to select Red or Green?

Here is the code used to modify the color of the Volume bars:
Plot( Volume, _DEFAULT_NAME(), IIf( C > O, ParamColor("Up Color",
colorGreen ), ParamColor("Down Color", colorRed ) ), ParamStyle(
"Style", styleHistogram | styleOwnScale | styleThick, maskHistogram  ) );

For now, let me know if it can be done and that I wouldn't be wasting
my time.  I enjoy a good challenge and am willing to give it a try but
don't want to spin my wheels as free time is of short supply.
