Changing Plot Color for AddChartIndicator in NT8

[lee612801]

Hello,

In NT7, i used the following to add a EMA chart to the strategy and change the color of each:

protected override void Initialize()
{
Add(EMA(Fast));
Add(EMA(Slow));
EMA(Fast).Plots[0].Pen.Color = Color.Black;
EMA(Slow).Plots[0].Pen.Color = Color.Blue;
}

In NT 8 I was able to use AddChartIndicator to get the EMA indicator, but how do I change the color of the various added indicators?

else if (State == State.Configure)
{
AddChartIndicator(EMA(Fast));
AddChartIndicator(EMA(Slow));

EMA(Fast).Plots[0].Pen.Color = Color.Black;
EMA(Slow).Plots[0].Pen.Color = Color.Blue; ??

Thanks for the help,

Regards,

Lee

Hello Lee,

Thank you for your inquiry.

You will want to utilize the ChartIndicators collection.

Example:

AddChartIndicator(EMA(Fast));
AddChartIndicator(EMA(Slow));

ChartIndicators[0].Plots[0].Brush = Brushes.Black;
ChartIndicators[1].Plots[0].Brush = Brushes.Blue;

More information about the ChartIndicators collection can be found in the NinjaTrader 8 help guide at this link: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...indicators.htm

Please, let us know if we may be of further assistance.
