Prev.Close bar colors

[EduardT]

Good day,

Does NT8 have an option, if the price is above prev. day close, the bars are colored green and if the price is below prev. day close, the bars are red. Like in picture below

Hello EduardT,

Are you asking if there is an existing indicator that has already been fully developed with this logic?

Are you asking what tools it would require to create a script that has this logic?

I took a quick look through the forums but I was not able to locate a script that has this functionality. This thread will remain open for any community members that know of where a script with this functionality can be obtained.

Below are publicly available links to the help guide.

If you were to create this, you could compare the Close[0] of the current bar to be greater than the PriorDayOHLC().PriorClose[0]. If it is, then set BarBrush to the Brush of your choice.

For the shaded area, this would need to be achieved with Draw.Region().
You would need a plot that sets the value to the prior close on every bar. Then draw the region using that plot's series and the close series.
