Changing historical bar's color

[commodity_trader]

Hi Support,

I read there is a way to change the color of the bar, by using below line of code, to color the current bar to green.
BarColor = Color.Green

But,how can I change a previous bar color? Like for example, I want to change the 5th previous bar, can I do like
BarColor[5] = Color.Red
so that it changes the old bar colors to red. Based upon a condition that happened in the current bar.




Thanks

Unfortunately this is not supported.

Josh,

Any workaround for this?

Can you please consider to add this to the feature enhancement list. Would be really useful to change color of historical bars.

A hint is to take a look at the implementation in the CandleStickPattern system indicator.

[commodity_trader]

Thanks Josh, will take a look at the candlepattern.

Would be nice, if you can please consider to add this feature to the future enhancement list though.

Thanks

Josh - Is ChartControl part of C#?

[NinjaTrader_JoshP]

Right ChartControl is C#. Unfortunately it is beyond the scope of what we can support.

No problem. You people (gender neutral) do a great job. MS C# reference pages can sometimes be bear to manuever through. My C# programming skills are pretty good, but finding the appropriate topics in the Microsoft reference pages can sometimes be a real pain. Therefore, the Candlestick code was very helpful.
