By default, the bars in Aspen Graphics charts are yellow on a gray background. In addition to being able to change bar color attributes from the Bar Chart parameter menu, Aspen’s color rules enable you to color bars when certain market conditions exist. For example, you can color bars red when a bearish candlestick formation occurs, or green when a bullish candlestick formation occurs.
