Ticks by bid and ask color

[s21462]

Hi to everyone!
I want colorize current real time ticks by ask or bid (red and green colors).

I do it like that:

protected override void OnMarketData(MarketDataEventArgs e)
{
if (e.MarketDataType == MarketDataType.Last)
{

//buy tick
if(e.Price >=e.MarketData.Ask.Price)
color = Color.Green;
//sell tick
else if(e.Price <= e.MarketData.Bid.Price)
color = Color.Red;

}

}

...but this is dont work correctly such as "time&sales" windows in NT. Colors are different. Whats wrong?

Thanks!

Welcome to our forums - unfortunately we could not disclose the Time and Sales code used, what colors are you then comparing to? It would make several distinctions between at ask, above ask, below bid and at bid.

Colors in time&sales


For example - ticks color in Time&Sales windows is green (at ask, or above ask), but in indicator (see code) color of the same tick different (sometimes colors is same).
Can you tell me, correctly I determine color of current tick in the code or not, please.

I believe the code should do what you seek - to compare please ensure the update intervals of the chart vs the time sales window are set the same so you're seeing the correct timing.
