As you did in your code use iif() to differentiate color but incorporate the value of the stops. For example, for an n-bar stop:
iif(sell == 5, colorwhite, colorred) Bill ----- Original Message ----- From: longarm61 To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, December 09, 2008 11:34 AM Subject: [amibroker] Re: Plot Uniquely-Colored Stops? Well, all I see there is a comment at the bottom saying to apply the following code below the Applystop formula in Indicator Builder: "Equity(1); // THIS EVALUATES STOPS Plot(Sell==4,"ApplyStop Sell",colorRed,1|styleOwnScale); Plot(Cover==4,"ApplyStop Cover",colorGreen,1|styleOwnScale);" This doesn't appear to be what I need (though I tried it anyway). In case I didn't make myself clear, I just want to differentiate n-bar stops from regular sells by giving them differently colored arrows (something other than red) when I plot my backtesting results. I assume this would be done by altering or adding to the PlotShapes code I already posted. Sorry if this is a basic question--I've tried to find/figure out the answer, but haven't had luck. Obviously, I'm no AFL wiz.
