I think that ThinkorSwim disables this code. You can take a try. I tried those below this code by adding "declare lower;". They are not working either.
Thank you very much for your help. I know that I can use a grid of charts to show Heikin Ashi, which take more space than I can display Heikin Ashi in lower study. In addition, I can easily use a mouse to locate normal candle and Heikin Ashi candle at the same time.
Thank you very much for your help. I made this change " input hideCandles = no;" Now it is working. https://usethinkscript.com/threads/...hart-for-thinkorswim-assorted-versions.10536/
Did you see this example?
declare lower;
def o = open;
def h = high;
def l = low;
def c = close;
AddChart(high = h, low = l, open = o, close = c, growcolor = color.green, fallcolor = color.red, type = ChartType.CANDLE);Thank you very much for the information. I can add a copy of candles with the same color in a lower study. However, I need to figure out how to show candle colors normally. I used "AddChart(high = h, low = l, open = o, close = c, growcolor = color.green, fallcolor = color.red, type = ChartType.CANDLE);", but it only shows green candles. Could you please advise how to add colors to the candles?
In Appearance of Chart Setting of ThinkorSwim, you can choose Ticks options: Border up, Border down, Fill up and Fill down. I would like to know how to add these features to the candles in the indicator properties.
no idea. i never adjust the settings. i write code to do what i want.
