Candle Body Outline Colour

[tdouglas]

Hi,

Is it possible to set the candle body to be the same colour as the bar body, e.g. green for an up bar and red for a down bar without effecting the wick of the candle? I've managed to change the whole candle colour to match the body but this also effects the wick, ideally the wick would remain the colour set in the chart options or be configurable within the Ninjascript (I can't find references to it within the help pages).

Indicator I've used is attached.

Thanks

I believe BarBrush is the property you are looking for. This is the NT8 replacement for BarColor

		protected override void OnBarUpdate()
		{
			if (Close[0]>Open[0])
			{
				CandleOutlineBrush = Brushes.Green;
				BarBrush = Brushes.Green;
			}
			if (Close[0]<Open[0])
			{
				CandleOutlineBrush    = Brushes.Red;
				BarBrush	= Brushes.Red;
			}
			if (Close[0]==Open[0])
			{
				CandleOutlineBrush   = Brushes.White;
				BarBrush = Brushes.White;
			}
		}
	}

edit: The CandleOutlineBrush will change both the outline and the wick. If you're looking to keep the wick, but only color the candle body and outline, you will need to develop your own custom bar type. There is a similar chart style another beta user developed here which I think will help achieve your goal:
