outside bar indicator

[chinapassage]

hello, curious if anyone would be able to change this outside bar code instead of just painting one color for all outside bars to be able to change the fill color for up bar and down bars separately... here is the attached code via .cs file
thank you in advance!

i did pay to have it coded for myself but as i was trying to copy and paste from another indicator that does paint it correctly i wasn't having much luck... so i posted the original code back in here to see if you all might have a quick solution.

Hello chinapassage,

If you decide to code this yourself, you can compare the Close[0] to the Open[0].

if (Close[0] > Open[0])
{
// this is an up bar as the close is greater than the open
// set BarBrush to the up Brush color
}

yeah every time since i have moved to AMD platform when i goto export i get a complete lock up regardless of indicator.... here is a quick picture: https://www.screencast.com/t/IvgJnJtv Once ninja has resolved this issue i will try and post the requested script.

it only occurs when i try to export a script as noted above otherwise everything works normally on ninja just the export function has gotten screwy.

Hello chinapassage,

Does this occur with all workspaces closed in a new workspace on a new chart with only the SMA indicator applied?

If so, I would like to schedule a call with you so that you may demonstrate this.

[chinapassage]

ChelseaB,
yes it occurs on a new workspace as stated above... i have tried a dozen times to no avail so i will just drop the .cs file in here and you guys are welcome to complile.... there are 3 different ones ...one that just colors the wick...and one that color up and one that colors down if you want a specificed color ... hope it helps. havent had time to schedule a call to fix the issue.

i just ask any fixes or enhancements would be posted here so that we can all benefit from this work. thank you very much for that consideration.

Hello chinapassage,

There may be a script on your system causing an issue with exporting.

Please make a clean environment (a new secondary Documents\NinjaTrader 8\ folder) that can be used just for exporting scripts.

Below is a link to a forum post with instructions for this.
https://ninjatrader.com/support/foru...373#post803373

For testing, before adding any custom code, please create a new indicator or strategy with no custom logic.

In a clean environment can this be reproduced when exporting a new blank script?

In the clean environment can the behavior be reproduced after adding the custom scripts and exporting?

thanks, not gonna do that at the moment i dont feel like reinstalling all my 3rd party indicators again from scratch... but thanks.

you have all that is needed feel free to zip it up and add it here so that someone can easily import it. Or they can just use the .cs file and learn how to add it that way.

i have no compilation errors when compiling an indicator or importing... so probably is something in there...always something with ninja :-) ill re-install ninja at a later date... wish you the best....and feel free to pass it along just ask any tweeks be put back in here.
