SC Support, Is it possible to implement coloring for the Candlestick graph draw type which takes into account both the Open and Previous Close? What I'm trying to accomplish is best illustrated by example: (1) Candlestick outline color is determined by comparing Close vs. PrevClose: green for up, red for down, and grey for unchanged. (2) If Close > Open then body is transparent with no fill color. (3) If Close < Open then body is filled using the color scheme set in (1). The result is that the typical Up bar will be a hollow green candlestick and the typical Down bar will be have a red fill for the body. The atypical scenarios are: (a) Close > PrevClose but Close < Open produce a green bar with the body filled green. (b) Close < PrevClose but Close > Open produce a red bar with a transparent body. (c) Close = PrevClose produces a grey bar with transparent body if Close > Open and a grey filled body if Close < Open. I attach a screenshot for further illustration with the exceptional / atypical days highlighted with a yellow arrow. Many thanks in advance for your help. |
