Hi Bruce  I've seen some discussion of this in Stockfinder 5.0

If I define an inside candle as H < H1 and L > L1

I want the inside candle to appear radically different than red or green, say white (I use a black background)  Is this possible in TC2000?  I know I can position the cursor to see the actual values, but I am looking for something that will jump from the screen at me.  Currently using gold but might upgrade to platinum if this is possible.

No, it is not possible to paint indicators in TC2000 based on the results of arbitrary conditions as can be done in StockFinder.

About the closest thing I can think of would be to add a Custom PCF Indicator using the Dot Plot Style in the same pane and scale as Price History. It could plot a dot in any color you want at the top, bottom or middle of the candle using a formula similar to the following:

(L + H) / 2 * ABS(L1 < L AND H < H1)

[QUOTE=Bruce_L(L + H) / 2 * ABS(L1 < L AND H < H1) [/QUOTE]

That works for me.  The formula I used was H* ABS(L1 < L AND H < H1) 

which puts the dot on the top of the candle

Thanks

Henry
