Changing plot color on the fly

[blar58]

Hello

I was wondering about how I could change the color of a plot object on the fly.
For example I would like to see the Bollinger Band middle line to be red when going down and green when going up.

Actually the color is set in the Initialize method :

Add(new Plot(Color.Orange, "Upper band"));
Add(new Plot(Color.Orange, "Middle band"));
Add(new Plot(Color.Orange, "Lower band"));

How could I change that so that the color will be applied dynamically depending on the direction of the market.

Many thanks for helping.

Hello,

You could do something like this

if(Rising(Values[0][0]))
{
  PlotColors[0][0] = Color.Blue;
}

Rising: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...tml?rising.htm
PlotColors: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...plotcolors.htm
Values: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...tml?values.htm

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.
