@
TMFT ,
This thing just works GREAT !!!
Your BB (Bolliger Band) has the
Z Order code to make it work on the background; so, for any indicator with fills feature (e.g. Fat Tails' BB and
VWAP , etc ), they have to be tweaked with
Z Order for their fill painting to appear on the background... RIGHT ? How easy is this ?

Actually, the reason my Bollinger shows up on the image background is because I changed the Draw Region to FillPolygon and use Zorder .
The Zorder itself is very simple;
Assign a specific value
Code
protected override void Initialize()
{
Overlay = true;
ZOrder = -10;
}
Or assign the Max/Min level value
Code
if(UseZorder)
ZOrder = int.MaxValue;
else
ZOrder = int.MinValue;

I took your suggestion of using the same image and changing the hue depending on the trend. It works great , you just have to choose a "good" image to start with.
Very creative, nice work.

@lolu
I edited the BollingerEMA to change the region color in sync with the trend just like the ImageFile.
You're welcome

TMFT has kindly posted three images in post #139 ... just save those three images with their default names, in your folder path and reload your chart ... you don't need to restart NT. And if you want images different from TMFT's, just make sure they reflect up/down/flat trends in appearance. I advise that you just load TMFT's posted images ... they are FANTASTIC.

It should plot, if you enter the full path. If it does not plot
-> the file extension might be missing
-> you use another indicator which plots the backcolor of the chart on top of the image.
The indicator by @ThatManFromTexas uses basically the same code, but will allow you to divide the picture between several panels.
