setting different display characteristics for different time periods

always4nu · 10-01-2009, 10:54 AM

Hello

Can I apply a setting to in some way highlight a period of time which I want to be aware of in my charts?

for example, if I wish for my candlesticks to take on a certain appearance (let's say bright orange color) from 1130am thru 1230pm and then back to normal after 1230pm and then another color at 300pm...can this be done?

Thanks!

always4nu, this be done via custom programming and the BarColor() method - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H.../BarColor.html

Bertrand -

Is there a method that I can include in this strategy for the time parameter?

Thanks!

You can easily check this with the ToTime() method - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...V6/ToTime.html
