Inside Bar

[bsamani]

I was wondering if anyone has code to color an inside bar. So, down bar (red), up bar(red), inside bar(any othercolor ).

Thanks!

Hello,

Right click your chart>Properties and send up bars and down bars to Red. If you define "inside bar" by opens and closes try something like this:

if(Math.Max(Close[0], Open[0]) < Math.Max(Close[1], Open[1])
&& Math.Min(Close[0], Open[0]) > Math.Min(Close[1], Open[1]))
{
BarColor = Color.Blue;
}

If you define "inside bar" by highs and lows try something like this:

if(High[0] < High[1] && Low[0] > Low[1])
{
BarColor = Color.Blue;
}

I have not tested this, so test it first. Also, if you determine "inside bar" another way, you can always change this up to reflect your criterions.
