 I am trying to replicate the Heiken-Ashi system I coded for another charting package.  I have the candles working fine but I am having problems coding the paint rules.  In an example I found on the forum the up rule is If Line.Value > Line.Value(1) Then PlotColor = Color.Green.....  What I want to do is the following; If Ha.Close > Ha.Open Then PlotColor = Color.Green.

I have dragged the Heiken-Ashi indicator to my rule code and am referencing it as above but I just get the default yellow bars from the final else clause.  Is it possible to reference the Heiken-Ashi component prices from the paint rules?

While you could Drag and Drop the Indicator into the RealCode Editor of the Paint Scheme to create something like the following:

'# HA = chart.HeikenAshi
If HA.Value > HA.Open Then
 PlotColor = Color.Green
Else
 PlotColor = Color.Red
End If

The following RealCode should work and be more efficient (it works in my copy of StockFinder 5):

If Line.Value > Line.Open Then
 PlotColor = Color.Green
Else
 PlotColor = Color.Red
End If
