how to change COLOR of previous BAR????

to change the color of current bar is easy, but how can i change the previous bar's color? (some hints here, but cant help -

Historical / Last Bar

Hello

I am looking for a TS Equivalent to NinjaTrader's Historical property, or even the LastBar equivalent.

Basically I need to know if the bar is getting it's data from the database, or if it's a "live" bar.

I looked around, …

)

example:

Code

MyColor = red;
if high>high[1] then MyColor= green;  {want make previous bar green color}
plot1(1,"sample", MyColor);

selnomeria,

you'd use the the same code to change the current bar's color, but use index 1 for one bar back (i.e. [1] ).

Something like this might work for you:

Code

MyColor = red;
if high>high[1] then SetPlotColor[1]( 1,  green) ;  {want make previous bar green color}
plot1(1,"sample", MyColor);
