How to show closing price with color bars

[kenb2004]

I've created an indicator that uses BarColor and CandleOutlineColor. These are very useful but now I can't tell where the bar closed. I would like to draw a black horizontal line on top of the colored bar to indicate the "close". Can you please tell me how this can be done. I've tried this but it doesn't work.
DrawLine("CloseLine" + CurrentBar, 1, Close[1], 0, Close[0], Color.Black);
Thanks

Hello,

Thanks for your forum post.

Unfortunately this would not be possible in NinjaScript to do this since the only anchor point for the line is the center of the bar. You would need to make modifications to the actual chart styles themselfs which gets into unsupported territory unfortunately.

You might consider drawing a triangle or dot at the top of the bar or bottom of the bar to indicate the close is on the top or bottom or some other solution to this.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

I tried adding a dot but it put the dots on my panel 2 indicator instead of on the close of the current bar.
DrawDot("My dot" + CurrentBar, false, 0, Close[0], Color.Black);
What do I need to do to fix this?
thanks

Hello,

Add,

DrawOnPricePanel = True;
DrawDot();
DrawOnPricePanel = False;

I put this code in my indicators' action. Bar color and candle color work fine, but dot does not show up. What am I doing wrong?

BarColor = Color.Green;
CandleOutlineColor = Color.Green;
DrawOnPricePanel = true;
DrawDot("My dot" + CurrentBar, false, 0, Close[0], Color.Black);
DrawOnPricePanel = false;

Hello,

Looks like this used to work in 6.5 but no longer in 7.
