Gann Swing Custom Colour Scripts

Optuma Scripting

Hi all

I’m a bit stuck, I’m hoping someone can tell me what it is that I’m doing wrong!

I am trying to plot a Gann swing chart from a higher timeframe onto a chart using a script, and set a custom colour script so that it behaves like it would do on a regular Gann Swing Chart when the colour is set to display ‘trend’.

I created a simple script set as an indicator, e.g:

GannSwing(Minute(PERIODAMOUNT=240), SWINGCOUNT=3, METHOD=Use Next Bar, USEINSIDE=True, USEBREAKOUT=True);

This plots fine on a lower timeframe chart in a single colour. I am then trying to use this custom colour script with no success (I suspect I’m getting this wrong somewhere)…

GS1 = GannSwing(Minute(PERIODAMOUNT=240), SWINGCOUNT=3, METHOD=Use Next Bar, USEINSIDE=True, USEBREAKOUT=True); 
SWINGTRENDUP(GS1) == 1 and CLOSE() > 0

This seems to work OK with a Gann Swing Chart on the default (same) timeframe but I can only use single colour when overriding the timeframe. Can anyone point out what I’m doing wrong here?

All the best

Hi,

Gann Swings plot a bit differently to most other tools. It looks like the custom colour scheme option in this setup is not currently working.

I’ve logged it for the dev team to review in an update.

Hi Matthew

Thanks for doing that - would be a very useful visual aid if this could be enabled.
