Custom colorcycle

AFL Programming

Is there a way to cycle through a custom list of colour for plots?

I'd like to rotate through green, red, blue (and others) - but can only find the amibroker defined ones as below:

stcol = ParamColor( "Color", colorCycle );

symlist = "AAPL,BIDU,MSFT,TSLA,META";

for( i = 0; ( symbol = StrExtract( symlist, i ) ) != ""; i++ )
{
	Plot(Foreign(symbol,"C"),symbol,stcol);
}

@traderuk99 - you can define your own if you like

@traderuk99, please, check this KB article that shows a simple way to do it without the need to create a custom color list.

As an alternative you can store your custom colors (that are numbers) in a single row (or col) matrix and use them in you loop, retrieving the needed color using the appropriate index.
