Thread: Best color combinations for charts

I appologise for stating the obvious, but there can be folks out there who didn't know that.

For black and white printing go into Tools then Options then Charts also it gives you an option for printing. De-select this then check out the print preview under File.

Yes I should have been explicit in what I was saying. There is no way to publish color I know of with no black background. My work around was to change templates before printing. But that's a pain.

You'd believe something like this will be evident because black backgrounds are the default option in metatrader.

But then again, you would think there would be an choice to allow you to display times in your own time zone, not the waiter's.

Thanks all for your suggestions.

Here is another tip which I experimented with. Try gray and brown candles.

Look at green and crimson and then feel the exciting emotion you become.

Then have a look at brown and gray - do not you just feel nothing - which might be a good thing.

I started using the colors that accrete is using. I must say, at first it was a little bit of a shift. After only a day however, everything is composed, however, the indiors, along with my averages and such stand out. I find myself not missing small things like I did before.

I figured it was worth a try, and it was worth it. You might look into.

Well, I'm glad this thread has generated a positive outcome. I enjoy Accretes charts too and will probably give those colours a go.

I got somewhat confused because I went to the colour treatment link and I just kept on reading and reading and studying, ended up studying an entirely scientific and historical study of colour treatment through the years. Ended up too much info to produce a determination.

My guess is that a sedative colour for the background is best... something like a mild grey/blue. Thenigeriaforextradingbackground color would function.

I find myself changing schemes based on what information I'm searching for. But this really is my favourite egy...

LOL. I was just viewing the Tee-Vee and looked back at the monitor and went to change the time-frame on my own posting.

All together now...

. . .DUMB ASSE!!!

Yes, I've also got a couple of different approaches now, according to all the inputs.

Those stered trend lines are pretty nifty.

Inform me about it. I wonder why the charts will not zoom in.
