anybody know how to take the ES daily chart volume indicator and be able to have it plot different colors for each hour that has passed?

the result would be a daily chart with 7 different colors for the regular trading session using v7.

here is a link for the thread posted on the ninja forum and thx!

Daily Volume Indicator modification v7 - NinjaTrader Support Forum


This is possible, but not easy. There are two options to achieve this

(1) Code an indicator that - applied to a daily chart - calls intraday data and calculates volume for the 7 hours of the regular session.

(2) Set up a multi-series chart, display daily data and calculate the indicator from intraday data.

In both cases you need to use a custom plot to get bars that plot on top of each other. So your indicator is extremely difficult to code and I do not even understand what to do with it.

For example on Thursday and Friday, pre-market volume is more important than RTH volume, and it would not show up on that complicated indicator.
