Thank you. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get it to work yet. Actually, I can't seem to change the color of the arrows at ALL now even when tweaking the original code. Why would the following still display green and red arrows???
shape = Buy * shapeUpArrow + Sell * shapeDownArrow ; PlotShapes( shape, IIf( Buy, colorBlue, colorBrown ), 0, IIf( Buy, Low, High ) ); I save the code after editing, I hit backtest, I hit "show arrows for actual trades" in the automatic analysis window again...and the colors never change from green & red. I must missing something simple, eh?
