Multi colored wicks

[sandman]

Has someone created an indicator that colors the wicks in candle stick charts differently for a falling or rising condition, and would you be willing to share the code for that? See attached image.

Hello sandman,

The attached indicator will accomplish your goal. Please let us know if there are any other ways we can help.

Jessica, the request as I read it is for multi-colored wicks. I think you would have to custom draw the candles such as Heiken Ashi does.

Thank you eDanny, I did miss the differently colored wicks on a single bar. The code I provided will provide differently colored wicks between bars, but a single bar will have e.g. 2 red wicks or 2 blue wicks depending on whether that bar was rising or falling at the time it was created.

I was unable to derive how to do this from the Heiken-Ashi indicator's code, as the HA indicator simply starts each bar off as invisible and then selectively colors them back in. The top and bottom wick are still the same color with HA. I do not believe there is any documented way to get Ninja to display two sets of bars, and I do not believe there is any way to selectively prevent either an up or down wick from displaying. I believe, in order to use HA's approach, I would have to be able to do both these things.

However, I have seen several posts from yourself on the forums, and respect your expertise in this area.

sandman, as far as I know, there is no documented way to get two differently colored wicks onto a single bar. I believe you would need to use the code in (My) Documents\NinjaTrader 7\bin\Custom\Type\@BarsTypes.cs to create a custom bar type to accomplish this.

I see. Thanks Jessica, and thanks eDanny (who's correct about what I am after.)

It's nothing major for the purpose of trading profitably but it just irks me to see a black or grey wick when it could or should have a proper color. Anyway, I'll give it a go then - nothing better than a good challenge now and then

From memory, the HA indicator makes the regular bars transparent and calculates the new HA OHLC values and then draws the bars. It would be easy to hijack that code and skip the HA calcs, use the regular OHLC, draw the candles with your own colors, including the individual wicks.

[sandman]

I did not use the HA code but simple Close, Open, High, Low statements with some custom drawing and it worked out: two differently colored wicks within one bar Yep!

Thanks for your input though.

Thank you for your question princenuri. Forums user sandman did not provide a NinjaScript file, and is correct about this requiring custom C# drawing methods which are not directly documented or provided by NinjaTrader. I will leave this message up in case a member of the community would like to provide this assistance.

This said, you can install the file you linked by copying it to (My) Documents\NinjaTrader 7\bin\Custom\Indicator with NinjaTrader off.

Thanks for your reply , yes I tried to install the file you linked by copying it to (My) Documents\NinjaTrader 7\bin\Custom\Indicator with NinjaTrader off, but it's not working , still I can't see any option to change colour of heiken ashi candlestick wick ( colour according to up bar or down bar ) can you please let me know any method to change colours of up/down candle wick ?

[NinjaTrader_JessicaP]

As mentioned before, doing so requires custom drawing methods which we do not distribute with NinjaTrader. You may want to PM forums users in this thread that were able to do this on their own.

[princenuri]
