How Plot real time color for current bar only?

[Taddypole]

I'm trying to develop a volume indicator that can change the color of the current forming bar dynamically but as the bar closes, the historical bars will be the proper color based on the close of that bar.

Currently in the code, when the current bar updates in real time, the whole series of bars changes color.

What do I need to do to keep the none real time bars in the correct color state?

help...

you can do something like checking if the current bar is datetime.now() and then paint it
i think?!?

Never mind, I found it.

I was using this and it turns the whole series the specified color:
Plots[0].Pen.Color = Color.Red;

but then found this and it updates in real time and properly colors past bars:
PlotColors[0][0] = Color.Red;

The second bracketed term (index) was what I needed.

You may have reinvented the wheel. The shipping VolumeUpDown indicator does that already.
