Background Color

[kevinh786]

Hello,
Is it possible to change the background color for the entire chart based on the close of the current bar? If the current bar's close is higher than it's open, I would like the entire screen to be colored green and if the current bar's close is lower than it's open, the entire screen should be red.

If someone knows how to do this, please post the code/indicator.

Thank you.

Kevin

Hi Kevin, while I would unfortunately not have a full study implementing that, you can deifnitely color all panels with the BackColorAll command - http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...tsub=backcolor

This thread should show you the (unsupported) command that you need.

Thank you for the reply koganam but the part I don't know how to do is paint the entire screen not just the background of the current bar.

Any ideas?

You must not have read the thread? I gave out those commands right in the thread.

My mistake koganam. I'm not a programmer so I'm a little slow at this stuff but I plugged in your code and it works great...than you!
