Day of the Week highlight bars

[joshuas7]

Good Afternoon,
How does one create different colored highlight bars signifying what day it is?
For example, if I have an NT chart up with one weeks worth of 30 minute bars of SPY, how can someone make all the 30 minute bars on Monday green, all the
30 minute bars from Tuesday white, all the 30 minute bars for Wednesdays red. etc. etc.I would appreciate anyones help, who understands and knows how to use 'script language'.

Hi joshuas7,

You could certainly do something with BarColor and Time[0]...

if (Time[0].DayOfWeek==DayOfWeek.Monday)
			BarColor = Color.Blue;

[joshuas7]

if (Time[0].DayOfWeek==DayOfWeek.Monday)
BarColor = Color.Blue;

if (Time[0].DayOfWeek==DayOfWeek.Tuesday)
BarColor = Color.White;

if (Time[0].DayOfWeek==DayOfWeek.Wednesday)
BarColor = Color.Red;

if (Time[0].DayOfWeek==DayOfWeek.Thursday)
BarColor = Color.Green;

if (Time[0].DayOfWeek==DayOfWeek.Friday)
BarColor = Color.Orange;

Hi Tim,
I really appreciate the help. Based on the 'code' you sent me, would the next four I typed out be correct? I'm sure there are online instructions somewhere on NT regarding the how to's for plugging them in. Could you or someone else reading this, direct me towards the NT address where I can get started now that I have the right info to plugin?

Thanks again

Hi joshuas7,


My advice to get started is to use the Wizard at: "Tools>New NS>Indicator" give it a name then select "Generate", put your code under "OnBarUpdate".

These steps are similar to those found in our tutorials: http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...tml?Overview23
