SMA colors

[zachj]

For backtesting how can I set a specific color for the sma's so it will show in the chart tab in the strategy analyzer. What can I add to the following to make the SMA 14 blue for instance?...

Add(SMA(14));

Do i use the below in some fashion?...

Add(new Plot(Color.Blue, PlotStyle.Line, "SMA"));

Hello zachj,

Thank you for your post.

You can just change the Pen.Color of the plot as seen in the SampleMaCrossOver (Tools > Edit NinjaScript > Strategy > SampleMaCrossOver):

			SMA(Fast).Plots[0].Pen.Color = Color.Orange;
			SMA(Slow).Plots[0].Pen.Color = Color.Green;

            Add(SMA(Fast));
            Add(SMA(Slow));

Ok one more, how do I set the color for the middle BBand to transparent..

I tried this below but obviously not right...

Middle.set(Bollinger(2, 14)).Plots[0].Pen.Color.Transparent;

Hello zachj,

Thank you for your response.

You would need to understand the Plots object and then find the plot number of the desired plot to change. In this case Values[1] of the Bollinger as seen below form the Bollinger's properties section:

		/// <summary>
		/// Get the middle value.
		/// </summary>
		[Browsable(false)]
		[XmlIgnore()]
		public DataSeries Middle
		{
			get { return Values[1]; }
		}

Then we simply use the following line in our strategy:

Bollinger(2, 14).Plots[1].Pen.Color = Color.Transparent;
