Simple Paintbar Request

[MrPaul]

Hey,

Can anyone here help me out, I'm quite illiterate when it comes to Tradestation's easylanguage. But I can download an ELD file quite efficiently

With this in mind can anyone build pr point the way to an indicator that will display a yellow color for bars that form on 35,000-60,000 contract volume, and a light blue, for bars that form on over 60,000?

Also using only HLC bars not OHLC.


I've included a really crude drawing to help clarify


Thanks everyone

MrPaul,

See how this works out for you.

Input: LowVol(35000), HiVol(60000), LightVolColor(Yellow), HiVolColor(Blue); Variables: MyVol(0); MyVol = IFF(BarType > 1, Volume, Ticks); if MyVol >= LowVol and MyVol <= HiVol then begin PlotPaintBar (High, Low, Open, Close, "VolThreshold", LightVolColor, Default, 1); end ; if MyVol > HiVol then begin PlotPaintBar (High, Low, Open, Close, "VolThreshold", HiVolColor, Default, 1); end ;

Ant,

Thanks for the super fast response! Its exactly what I needed...

Is there any way that I could get it to not plot the open dash? Just the HLC?

MrPaul, you can remove the Open and Close parameters in the PlotPaintBar() function call, but then the Close won't be colored. I think TradeStation can only do OHLC or HL, but not HLC. I'll do a quick check in the TS forum and if I find anything I will post it here.

Ant,

No worries taking the open and close out worked out just fine. I dont mind the close being a different color
