Changing colors of a plot

[BobTN]

I am trying to make a plot with PlotStyle.Dot change the colors of the dot on a range bar chart. After looking at the sample code using SMA I am able to get the colors changed but I need to have OnBarUpdate = false. I am comparing Close[1] to Close[0]. Close[1] > Close[0] I want the plot to be red. Close[1] < Close[0] I want the plot to be green.

I am having a problem when the Close[0] goes above and below Close[1] on the same bar but the final close is below Close[1]. I end up with both a green and a red dot but since the green dot is the first plot item I get a green dot when I want a red dot.

Is there some way to erase the green dot so the red dot plots?

Hello BobTN,

Thank you for your post.

You're getting updates to the colors while the bar is forming and you'd only like to view when the bar is closed?

You can set CalculateOnBarClose to true to have it work like this.

If it's something else could you post the snippet you're using and expected behavior?

I found the problem. I was following the sample code that used SMA and changed the color. With the dot plot I am using i didn't need the connecting code I only needed the set for the current value. The I was able to use the dataseries.Reset to clear plot I didn't need.

if (Rising(SMA(Period)))
{
// Connects the rising plot segment with the other plots
RisingPlot.Set(1, SMA(Period)[1]); This is what I removed

// Adds the new rising plot line segment to the line
RisingPlot.Set(SMA(Period)[0]);
}
