Am pulling my hair out (what little is left)

Here is my custom strategy:

using System.Drawing.Drawing2D;
using System.Xml.Serialization;
using NinjaTrader.Cbi;

namespace NinjaTrader.Strategy
{
    public class Whasapp : Strategy
    {
        protected override void Initialize()
        {
			Add(this.WhasappIndicator());
            CalculateOnBarClose = true;
        }
		
        protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {
			bool signal = ToTime(Time[0]) > 100000 && ToTime(Time[0]) < 110000;
			
			if (signal) this.WhasappIndicator().Signal.Set(0, true);
			else this.WhasappIndicator().Signal.Set(0, false);
        }
    }
}

Here is my custom indicator:

        #endregion

        protected override void Initialize()
        {
            Overlay				= false;
			this.signal 		= new BoolSeries(this);
        }

        protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {
			if (this.signal.ContainsValue(0) && this.signal[0]) this.BackColor = Color.Lime;
			else this.BackColor = Color.Crimson;
        }

        #region Properties
        [Browsable(false)]
        [XmlIgnore()]	
        public BoolSeries Signal

            set { this.signal = value; }
        }
        #endregion
    }
}
... + NT generated code

When I run this (through Strategy Analyzer, or on a chart), why do I get a result like the attached image?

I was expecting to see crimson everywhere except where the time was between 10h00 and 11h00, where I expected to see lime ...

What's up?

Hi AnotherTrader,

I gave your code a run here and I was able to plot the lime backcolor when the condition was true (see the attachments)

This falls in line between 10am and 11am as you have coded.

I do not see anything conceptually wrong with the code you have provided. I'd suggest adding some "Print" statements from the strategy and make sure your values are evaluated as you expect them.

What's up?

Try direct assignment, instead of Set().

...
            if (signal) this.WhasappIndicator().Signal.[0] = true;
            else this.WhasappIndicator().Signal[0] = false;
