That is the default view for AB - a very nice example of Tomasz'z
code. You can see the code in Charts >> BasicCharts >> Price (all in
one).
I prefer another view:
- insert volume as an indicator in it's own pane
- I use this from Tomasz's code and save it as Price Custom for my
default view.
SetChartOptions(0,chartShowArrows|chartShowDates);
_N(Title = StrFormat("{{NAME}} - {{INTERVAL}} {{DATE}} Open %g, Hi %
g, Lo %g, Close %g (%.1f%%) Vol " +WriteVal( V, 1.0 ) +" {{VALUES}}",
O, H, L, C, SelectedValue( ROC( C, 1 )) ));
Plot( C, "Close", ParamColor("Color", colorBlack ), styleNoTitle |
ParamStyle("Style") | GetPriceStyle() );
if( ParamToggle("Tooltip shows", "All Values|Only Prices" ) )
{
ToolTip=StrFormat("Open: %g\nHigh: %g\nLow: %g\nClose: %g (%.1f%
%)\nVolume: "+NumToStr( V, 1 ), O, H, L, C, SelectedValue( ROC( C,
1 )));
}
