We did just post a "MountainChartStyle" in our forum under the file sharing section. Thought it might be relevant to this discussion.

We updated the script to allow for customization of the line, upper gradient and lower gradient.

You're going to end up missing trades because your spending to much time admiring the pretty chart.

Actually the graphics contrasts makes the indicators easier to read for these old tired eyes...

Besides... like a very shallow (cute... but shallow none the less) young woman told me in my youth... good looks never hurt ....

How do us non coders do this in a simple and super easy way?

It can get complicated, it interferes with other color zones. On the other hand you can talk to this guy....

I am confused now, I am sitting in my recliner, watching my charts, no longer trading..... Actually it is not difficult to integrate a slide show with NinjaTrader, just collect various images from your last holiday. Every 100 slides send a signal to the coffee machine for a new cup of Java....
