New Ensign: Bar Styles


8 new bar styles are available in the new Ensign.   From a chart, press the CTRL+P keys to show the chart's property form.

The new styles are on the drop down list for the Bar Styles.  The first is the Ensign Z-Flute, which is a variation of the Ensign Flute to add a Z line from the Open to the Close, like the Ensign Zebra does.

 

The C-Flutes shows just the Close, and does so as a block in the middle of the pipe.

 

ticks: WoW Howard this is already impressive and brilliant ! thanks

We also had a request for a flute without any open and close marking, so that is the X-Flute, were X means the information is omitted.

 

The Line and Close style is like the Line chart and the Close Ticks chart together, and you can make the line thickness bolder with the line thickness selection.

bld: I have already created line and close charts with template. Use them all time. They are great!

Great bld, now with the new selections you will be able to speed up your chart by having the program do the visual instead of having a template do it.

The Line and Range selection adds the bar's range to the Line and Close style chart.

The Line and Band selection shows the Line and Close chart with a band created by connecting the Highs and the Lows.

@Buffy2: Band style can't be changed right?

Correct.

The Bar Fat Close selection implements the request to have a fatter marker for the close tick on a OHLC bar chart.

The Bar High/Low selection shows a bar with lines at the high and low, and the close is the bullet on the pole. The open is not shown on this style.

I think Gann might have liked to use this last selection.   OK, that introduces the 8 new bar styles.
