Very few people here are programmers but one way or another it is picked up - usually by "learning by doing." You demonstrated that you have enough AFL under your belt to tackle this problem. However, you have to get a couple of things straightened out.
What you wrote is not the code for the variables H and LH. First of all it should have the form of an equation. So, H = ???? in the case of H and LH = ???? for LH. If this all sounds like gibberish, there is no alternative to spending some time studying the basics of coding in a book or Users Guide (e.g., http://www.amibroker.com/guide/h_understandafl.html and http://www.amibroker.com/guide/a_language.html). First, how is H defined? The figure says that H is a bar that "closed above the previous bar high." How do you say that in AFL? H = C > Ref(H, -1); Now in a similar manner how do you define LH and HH? Write it out in words just like the chart shows for H and then translate it into AFL. LH = ???????????? HH = ??????????? Once you do that plot the results using different colors for each condition: color = iif(h, colorred, iif(lh, colorwhite, iif(hh, colorblue, colorgreen))); plot(c, "", color, stylebar); A total of five lines of code up to this point. Next run the code and check the chart to be sure that all of the H, HH, and LH bars that you identify by eye are properly colored. If not, go back to the code and fix it until the colors are right. At this point, the essence of the information that you want is displayed on the chart. Once you get that far you can decide whether or not enhancements such as lines are needed.
