Green color for Long trend, red color for Short trend. Oscillators- doesn't matter. Actually the most important role are playing the Moving Averages- different colors for different periods. When all Moving Averages cross, this is a great signal for changing of the trend . {image}
That makes sense. If your Moving Averages were all the same colour you'd be conflating them all the time.

Exactly, I use EMA 20 & 50 and they are red and green! Same colors are really confusing in the rangy market.

True. In my opinion all different instruments should be contrasting colours. The chart may end up looking a little garish, but it would be understandable.

Heres my suggestion, its nice and easy to look at and i think it looks quite professional. What i like most about it is you can use the colours to make lines stand out or be subtly in the back ground depending on relevance or importance. If you like the combination this how it works: Background Dark Grey Foreground Midnight Blue Grid Cadet Blue Bar Up Black Bar Down Black Bull Candle Lime Green Bear Candle Coral Line Graph Black Volumes White Ask Line Red Stop Levels Red I also keep the chart on the foreground Fibs are dotted lines (see period colours)...
Great chart design tips. Chart styles and overall appearance is a neglected matter amongst traders but is very vital as it helps boost your trading morale. Color has a special way for playing with emotions so you should select a color combination that you feel most comfortable staring at as you trade.

Maybe, if you increase the candle size would be better, it’s my personal choice, mate.

Who else here likes to keep the grid on? Because I do, I find it much easier to trade that way.

I see; sometimes it works as support and resistant; isn’t? Although I don’t allow this tool on my trading chart.

The grid doesn't really work as a support and resistance but it makes it easier to see where those are.

I need more contrasting colours, but to each their own.

But it helps to understand the exact level of previous higher high or lower low type levels!

True. It's generally good to help you figure out where the price is at any given time without having to use the crosshair tool.

The mark is just temporary though, it's not like you're drawing trend lines. And it can be useful sometimes. Still, not having to use it all the time is a plus.

I guess; trend line & horizontal lines are much meaningful to know the current trend!

I do make a liberal use of them.
