Paint Bar

[markc]

I want to paint all the bars where the open and close are within the top/bottom 20% of the day's range. I am basically wanting to eyeball the trend days.

As a novice with Tradestation 2000i, I am a bit (completely) unsure how to do this.

Can someone tell me please?

Thanks

If I tried to spam the forum would my post receive a reply?

If anyone can tell me how to do the paint bar I would appreciate it.

Inputs: Multi(1), lookbak(10), ECpct(.85), Closetime(1300);

Vars: TRange(0), Hptr(0), Lptr(0);

TRange=truehigh-truelow;


Condition1=TrueRange>(average(truerange, lookbak)*multi);
Condition2=C>((Trange*ECpct)+truelow);
Condition3=C<(truehigh-(Trange*ECpct));

If Condition1 and (condition2 or condition3) and time>=Closetime then begin
Plot1(High,"high");
Plot2(Low,"low");
End;

Thanks for that.

I'll play with it over the next few days.
