Bar Color

[velocity]

Does anyone know how to paint Prior bars after the something has happened on the current bar. I have an indicator that if true on the current bar, I place an order. However, I want to paint the prior bar blue. I tried:

BarColor[1] = Color.Blue;

but NT did not like that.

Any Ideas?

Velocity,

You make me laugh!!!!


I fixed the Grail bars indicators problem on the other forum a couple weeks ago by getting rid of the repainting of the prior bar.


Check out T3average and ADXVMA Sharkys Bars or check out this captured code.


The repainting code is in red.


// { Rising.Set(main[0]); Rising.Set(1, main[1]); }
{ Rising.Set(main[0]); Rising.Set(1); }

else if (main[0] < main[1])
// { Falling.Set(main[0]); Falling.Set(1, main[1]); }
{ Falling.Set(main[0]); Falling.Set(1); }

else
// { Neutral.Set(main[0]); Neutral.Set(1, main[1]); }
{ Neutral.Set(main[0]); Neutral.Set(1); }

or

if (Rising(t3Ave))
{
// Connects the rising plot segment with the other plots
T3AverageUp.Set(1, t3Ave[1]);

// Adds the new rising plot line segment to the line
T3AverageUp.Set(t3Ave[0]);
}

else if (Falling(t3Ave))
{
// Connects the new falling plot segment with the rest of the line
T3AverageDown.Set(1, t3Ave[1]);

// Adds the new falling plot line segment to the line
T3AverageDown.Set(t3Ave[0]);
}

else
{
// Connects the neutral plot segment with the rest of the line
T3AverageNeutral.Set(1, t3Ave[1]);

Good Luck,

Hi velocity, as you discovered, BarColor doesn't work in the past. rt6176 has a work-around to set historical plots in an indicator. That method wouldn't plot on the bars though.

Thanks guys.

I'll give it a try.

Loved the comment Rjay and thanks for the code snippet.

Are you kidding me!!! Yea, It does work on bars!!!
