I'd like to color panel 2 candle bars based on my moving average study (T3), so where you see the up/down line color, I'd like the candlestick body coloring to match. Having some trouble figuring out how to do this.

Maybe, but it seems quite complicated for just coloring based on rising/falling of a moving average, right?

Just a heads up, I am working with a few trader/programmer to build up the PROX Bars and some new Cumulative Delta tools for Sierra Charts users. I like what SC has developed for Delta tools and it is good to see some additional charting options advancing for Delta based traders.
