Alex, Help with Range.efs

[Himalaya]

Alex could you or someone change your "Range.efs" so that it will ony color the bar/candle if it is greater than X points? Leaving the other bar/candles their respective up/down colors.

Thanks in advance.



function preMain() {
setPriceStudy(true);
setStudyTitle("Range");
setShowCursorLabel(false);
setColorPriceBars(true);

var fp1 = new FunctionParameter("Change", FunctionParameter.STRING);
fp1.setName("Change");
fp1.addOption("Points");
fp1.addOption("Percent");
fp1.setDefault("Points");

var fp2 = new FunctionParameter("Value", FunctionParameter.NUMBER);
fp2.setLowerLimit(0);
fp2.setDefault(10);

}

function main(Change,Value) {

var vPoint = high()-low();
var vMidPoint = (high()+low())/2;


if (Change == "Points") {
if (vPoint < Value){
setPriceBarColor(Color.yellow);
}
else if (1==1){
setPriceBarColor(Color.white);
}
}

if (Change == "Percent") {
if(high()<vMidPoint*(1+Value/100)&&low()>vMidPoint*(1-Value/100)){
setPriceBarColor(Color.red);
}
else if (1==1){
setPriceBarColor(Color.black);
}
}

return ;
}

Just reverse the < and > signs in the conditions.
For example
if (vPoint < Value){
becomes
if (vPoint > Value){

Alex, Range.efs

Alex,

I must be doing something wrong.

When I reversed the < > signs, it simply makes all of the bars white instead of yellow.

I want to see up bars as lime and down bars as red and ONLY have the bars above X points be colored yellow or white.

Sorry, my misunderstanding also due to the fact that the original efs does not paint up or down bars but only if greater or lesser than a preset Point or Percent value.
Anyhow add the following section

else if (close()>close(-1)){
setPriceBarColor(Color.lime);
}
else if(close()<close(-1)){
setPriceBarColor(Color.red);
}

in between
setPriceBarColor(Color.yellow);
}
and
else if (1==1){
setPriceBarColor(Color.white);

Repeat the same for the Percent section where you will need to change the <> and the color for when the bar is greater than a Percent amount.

Alex,

Would you mind posting a link to the Range.efs

I messed the syntax up so much trying to have the colors simply stay their normal colors for bars under X points I threw the study out and now I can't find the link to the original.

:-(

Copy the formula you posted below and make the changes I suggested. It will work fine.
As to Range.efs I don't have the link readily available. Do a Search on the Bulletin Board; type Alexis and select Match partial name in the User Name box and Range in the keyword box. Check to Show results as posts
