Custom colored bars.

[KennyK]

Hi,
Wondering if anyone knows of a way to achieve the following:

When the OLHC bar type is selected in Ninja I want to be able to colour the bars differently to the default.
Default is one colour option for bars with a higher close and another colour for bars with a lower close.

What I would like to do is have one colour option for bars with a higher high and higher low, and a different colour option for bars with a lower low and lower high.
A different colour option for doji's, a different colour for inside bars, a different colour for outside bars, a different colour for key reversal bars, etc.

Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Ken.

Hello Ken,

Thank you for your post.

This would require custom development of an indicator that will detect these changes and color the bar accordingly.

We have a comprehensive help guide that goes through the available NinjaScripts items and even some basic tutorials on creating your own script.

Our support forum is a wealth of knowledge from our user base and even includes some reference items on how to code particular items.

Lastly, you are always welcome to send in a support request on any items that you may need assistance with.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Hi Ken,

this can be achieved, but it needs to be coded as a separate indicator. Below are examples of similar indicators, the second one is a free indicator, which I can send you.

HI Harry,
Thanks for the reply, those examples look interesting especially the first one.
I appreciate your offer to send me the second "free" indicator, I appreciate it.
I'll load it and have a look , see if it will be suitable.
I will PM you with my email address.

I have never tried coding but intend to have a look into it, see if it looks like something I can manage. I would like to be able to do it. I have been doing a bit of excel coding of late, learning as I go, lot of trial and error, but have managed some fairly complex work with it.

Ken.
