I am new here, so, Hello to everyone.

I found this message board by googling the following request__ "I am looking for an NT7 program to choose a different color for candlesticks based on the high and low, total number of ticks, of the candle wicks."

If someone has something please let me know.

Thank you in advance.

I look forward to future communications.

If its not in the down load area there are no free ones . There are coders on forum that can code any thing . I am not one of them however . contact member Fat Tails . IF you are going to pay to have it coded , I would use Ninja 8 . It will be supported for a longer period of time than 7 . hope it helps

These types of indicators are super basic ( for a programmer ), so shouldn't cost an arm and a leg to get done. ( Or even the cost of a couple of ice creams. haha )

For example ( in NT8 ) the following code snippet is pretty much all that's needed for each different outcome you are after...

 
Code
if(Close[0] > Open[0])                         //...Test if candle 'Close' is higher thand the candle 'Open'
{
	BarBrushes[0] = Brushes.Lime;               // ...this sets the candle body color to 'Lime'
	CandleOutlineBrushes[0] = Brushes.Pink;     // ...this sets the outline color to 'Pink' 
}
..and that's it.

You kind of just repeat that a few times for different tests. Except testing highs ( High[0]) against closes, lows, opens or whatever.

I got that running and tested in 5 mins. If that.

@AlDon, Why not just post the indicator for him to get started?

EDIT: Good Answer - thanks!

Because he is using NT7.

I would have just done the indicator for him. But I don't have it installed, or have the time right now to adjust any code differences between the two versions . Especially when I've done no NT7 code at all.
