How can I color the background only when indicator is above 2.5 line? Shown in red in the attached chart.

Hello afshinmoshrefi, and thank you for your question.

You can use BackColorSeries[int barsAgo] to change the background color of a panel behind an indicator at the specified barsAgo value. To change the entire background, you can loop between 0 and CurrentBar. I am including a help guide link for more information.

Please let us know if there is any other way we can help.

That won't work. I want to only color the background that is above 2.5 inside the indicator lines. I just photoshopped the attached chart to color the area in question in red.

Hello afshinmoshrefi,

If you would like to extend Ninja beyond the documented functionality, which will let you color a slice of a panel behind a bar, you will need to use MSDN C# code. You may want to refer to this forums post as a reference, as it does something very similar to what you are proposing.
