Hi

I don't think what I want is possible in NT without coding.

Has this coding been done already? If the link can be provided that's great.



I just want color coding of the price bars according to the closes. The close
relative to the open is NOT part of what I want.

If close higher than previous close, then yellow.
If close same as previous close, then red.
If close lower than previous close, then blue.


In the attachment I would like to see red, red, red, blue,red, blue, red,
just as an example, as one looks left to right concentrating on the vertical lines I've added.
I would think this has been done already by someone somewhere?

see post 105

cunparis journal, thoughts, and more tape is slow for ES today, here is my template

or z1trend

Two good indicators needing enhance Dear friends, The two indicators, z1TrendBars and DoubleMAPaint_HolyGrail are very good, but I believe to enhance them we need to make the Candle Stick Up Bars Hollow. This way is easier to identify the Candle Stick Up Bars. Can someone help to do this, …

I checked out DoubleMAPaintHolyGrail. That seemed to be
the closest to what I wanted. NT said my moving averages
were more recent than the ones in the indicator listed above
so I didn't accept them. I don't know if that affected things or
not. It didn't seem to work to do my basic color coding. I might
try to program this myself but it will probably take some time, if
I can do it at all.

Thanks for the effort,

Ok, I got this far but it's not quite right...

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
// Use this method for calculating your indicator values. Assign a value to each
// plot below by replacing 'Close[0]' with your own formula.
Plot0.Set(Close[0]);


if (Close[0] > Close [1])
BarColor = Color.Yellow;
if (Close[0]==Close[1])
BarColor = Color.Red;
if (Close[0]<Close [1])
BarColor = Color.MediumPurple;


}

How do you use it?

Thanks a lot!

I'm just playing around using Kase bars on CL market replay data.
See attachment if you wish.

Take a look at this and let me know what you think. You will see that I roundprice to the ticksize so you can actually compare closes. Otherwise, you will see some situations where Close[0] == Close[1] bars that don't get painted correctly.

I am attaching the .cs file so you can put it in either nt7 or nt6.5

I'm ok for now. Thanks.
