How to change color of bars?

[pakricard]

Hi:

I'm trying to change the default green and red color of candlesticks inside my strategy. Is there a way of change the definition of "Up Bar Color" or "Down Bar Color" just once (in initialize or similar)?

There's an ovbious way in "OnBarUpdate" but seems logical to have a way to declare "I want to use color A and Color B in this strategy", but could not find it.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
pak

Hi Pak,

These properties are not supported but you should should be able to see them through Intellisense. As a hint, type this.ChartControl.D

The supported technique is assigning BarColor conditionally in OnBarUpdate()
if(Close[0] > Open[0])
BarColor = Color.Purple;

else
BarColor = Color.Orange;
