Plot array with 3 colors in Amibroker

I am using Amibroker. I would like to make a plot of the array PCT_CLOSE such that the color is red when PCT_CLOSE<=25, yellow when between 25 and 50, Green when PCT_CLOSE>=50.

Right now, due to the IIF function constraint, I can only create a plot with 2 colors. Below is how I did it with 2 colors.

Plot( PCT_CLOSE , "CLOSE", IIf(PCT_CLOSE<=50, colorRed, colorYellow), styleNoTitle | styleLine | styleThick );
Solution

  • I will answer my own question.

    Color criteria in question:

    color is red when PCT_CLOSE<=25, yellow when between 25 and 50, Green when PCT_CLOSE>=50

    The key is to have nested IIF statements. Put IIF inside IIF. Here is the corresponding code;

    color = IIf(PCT_CLOSE<=25, colorRed, IIf(PCT_CLOSE>50, colorGreen, colorYellow)  )
