Re: [amibroker] Newbie trying to create an indicator

[Joe Landry]

SDP51 Try 
this. 
The KISS principle works for me.  You could stick 
the parm statement in the
code line if you really want to, but why?  This is 
easier to read. 
Wouldn't you want to parametize the test 
threshold limits instead? HTH

THL = IIf(H != L, H - L, 0.01);
BOP = (C - O)/THL;
col1 = ParamColor("Bulls",colorGreen); 
col2 = ParamColor("Bears",colorRed);
col3 = ParamColor("Indecision",colorYellow);
col = IIf( Ref(BOP,-1) > 0.1, col1, IIf(BOP < - 
0.1, Col2, IIf(BOP > - 0.1 ,Col3,0)));
Plot(BOP, "BOP", col, styleHistogram | styleThick | 
styleArea);
