How to check last bar's BackColor?

[billy822]

Is there a way to reference previous bars backcolor. Try to play a sound if current backcolor is different than the last backcolor. Thanks in advance.

billy822,

Unfortunately not. If you want to see the bar color you can just check the conditions. If close > open then it is green. If close < open then it is red.

Another option you could try: Within your strategy, you could record the conditions in a DataSeries or StringSeries. When the conditions call for a bar color change, also set the series with a flag to indicate the status.

If desired to have the color condition continue after the change (until the next change), you might use a variable which is zeroed at the change and then increments until the next change so that each series element may be set accordingly.
