Hello Mike & Barry
Quite correctly - I was focused on the efficiency/elegance of the code and I
did not pay enough attention to the code itself ie as you correctly pointed out
the second condition needed to be considered. Thankyou for pointing that out.
My take on the colour volume is slightly different where the colour of the
volume reflects the current close relative to the previous period's close ie C
- Ref(C, -1) and is more insightful when using the volume histogram at a glance.
For those who aggree with this view the code segment below may be of use.
_SECTION_BEGIN("Variable Volume Hight2");
direction = C - Ref(C, -1);
VolColor = (direction > 0) * ParamColor( "UpColor" ,colorGreen) + (direction <=
0)*ParamColor( "DnColor" ,colorRed) ;
vHeight = Param("Volume: 1 / Height",10, 1, 100, 1.0) ; // height as % of screen
Plot(Prec(Volume ,0),"V",VolColor, styleNoTitle | styleOwnScale| styleNoLabel |
styleHistogram |styleThick | styleNoLabel, vHeight);
_SECTION_END();
Cheers
Ed
