Change price marker color?

[higler]

On a chart, is there a way to programatically change the color of the "current price" marker. If certain conditions exist, as determined by an indicator, can I change the color of the marker which indicates the current price.

Also, on a chart, can I change the color from the default current price marker? Mine is currently black on a chart with a white background.

Hello,

Unfortunately you would not be able to change the price marker programatically

However you can change the color by right clicking on the chart--> select "Data Series"--> set the "Price Marker color" to the desired color.

The correct answer is:

BarsArray[0].BarsData.PriceMarkerColor = Color.<ColorName>;

I change it like this in NT8 in state.Transition

private void SetMarkerColors()
{
try
{
ChartControl.Dispatcher.InvokeAsync((() =>
{
var chartWindow = Window.GetWindow(this.ChartControl.Parent) as Chart;

if (chartWindow == null)
{
Print("chartWindow == null inside text markers");
return;
}



foreach (var obj in chartWindow.ActiveChartControl.ChartObjects)
{
var trade = obj as ChartBars;

if (trade != null)
{
trade.Properties.LongExecutionBrush = _long2Color;
trade.Properties.ShortExecutionBrush = _short2Color;
}
}
}));

}
catch (Exception e)
{
Print(e + " Could not set marker colors.");
throw;
}


}

Hello tradealgo,

While ChartBar properties are not guaranteed to take affect, these are documented in the help guide.
https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...properties.htm

You may find the code placed in State.DataLoaded a bit smaller.

if (ChartBars != null)
{
    ChartControl.Dispatcher.InvokeAsync(() =>
   {
      ChartBars.Properties.LongExecutionBrush = Brushes.Blue;
      ChartBars.Properties.ShortExecutionBrush = Brushes.Yellow
   });
}
