Code Example
Creating and Using Series Example:
var bInit = false;
var xSer = null;
setPriceStudy(true);
setColorPriceBars(true);
function main() {
if (bInit == false) {
xSer = AGet.xtl(35);
bInit = true;
}
var nSer = xSer.getValue(0);
if (nSer == null) return;
if (nSer == UP_TREND) setPriceBarColor(Color.RGB(0x00, 0x91, 0xff));
if (nSer == DOWN_TREND) setPriceBarColor(Color.RGB(0xff, 0x00, 0x00));
if (nSer == NEITRAL) setPriceBarColor(Color.RGB(0xa0, 0xa0, 0xa4));
