Elder Impulse - volume bars only

[DB_Janitor]

I have a modified version of Dr. Elder's "Impulse System" which gives me some bells and whistles. But, I find myself turning it on and off because I want to see actual Bull bars and Bear bars along with the Impulse System. As you know, the Impulse System colors both the price bars and the volume bars.

What if the Impulse System only colored the volume bars and left the price bars unmodified?

I've taken a cursory look at the code and it does not seem obvious to the casual observer how to make that happen. I suspect price and volume bars might be tightly coupled deep in the ThinkScript internals.

Anybody have scar tissue in this area?

why would you assume others know what you are talking about or what colors some study creates?
i have no idea what this study is you are talking about.
if the code is open source then post it.
if someone paid for it, then there is nothing others can do.

Yes, you can color volume bars separately.

AssignPriceColor() function colors both price and volume.

But create a lower chart study using a plot statement instead, and then you can color it with AssignValueColor() function, which will only paint the lower histogram and not paint the upper candles.
