Paint candle/candles to Highlight

[sam777]

Hi,

Is there a way to automatically paint (different color) candle/candles given specific time/times? (as parameters). Any help to do that will be greatly appreciated if cannot be done at present.

I use Version 7 and what an excellent piece of work - I got hooked on to it in 4 days and what an upgrade from 6.5 - optimization, speed - cpu utilization (resources) is unbelievable - Congrats to Ninjatrader!!

Thx Sam777

Hello Sam777,

Yes, this is possible.

This reference sample can help you setup time conditions:
Using a time filter to limit trading hours

Setting up time as an input parameter is tricky. For a sample implementation see the VWAP indicator here:

You can change candlestick color using BarColor property:

Wicks and outline is controlled with CandleOutlineColor:
