How can I use NinjaScript to change candle wick color?

[armybender]

How do I access this property using NinjaScript? It's not the same as CandleOutlineBrush.

Hello armybender,


Currently in NinjaTrader CandleOutlineBrush is the only way to program candle wicks to change color conditionally.

Shawn,

It turns out there's a "stroke2" property I was able to access to alter the wick directly.

CandleOutlineBrush takes care of the body, but the "stroke2" option is just the wicks.

Thanks,

Adam

Would you be so kind as to reply with your code for changing the wick colors conditionally? Thanks
