OHLC price series in a lower window

[Cliff]

Has anyone created a script that would display an OHLC price series in a lower window? Thanks.

You can use the AddChart() function. However, you won't find info about it from ThinkOrSwim's official documentation as the function is not technically supported. and it doesn't really do colours the way you might think it should -- in fact it doesn't really do colours. To have differently coloured up and down candles, you have to call the chart twice and it gets complicated.

There are several examples around here, but at it's most basic it looks like this:

declare lower;

def h = high;
def l = low;
def o = open;
def c = close;

AddChart(open = o, high = h, low = l, close = c, growColor = color.gray, fallColor = color.gray, neutralColor = color.gray, type = ChartType.BAR);

There are several chartTypes, but be careful with the EQUIVOLUME as it seems to crash my system into a state where I have to uninstall and reinstall ToS.

Hope that helps.

Thanks mashume,
Creating a script like that is way beyond my abilities. I will use a Heiken-Ashi script I was able to cobble together. That will work for my purposes.
