Bar Color with Bollinger Bands

[okuricap]

Hello,

I want to show the bar color in red when the bar close below the lower band of Bollinger Band(BB) and stay in red until the bar close above the upper band of the BB then the bars change to another color. Is it possible to do this?

Thanks

okuricap, welcome to our forums here - that would be doable with an indicator or strategy in our NinjaScript. To color the bars on your conditions you would use the BarColor() method - http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...7/barcolor.htm

A sample call for your condition could look like this for the long side :

if (Close[0] > Bollinger(2, 20).Upper[0])
      BarColor = Color.Blue;

Thanks Bertrand. May be I would like to clarify a bit. I want to have the bars with breakout with color and the subsequent bars stay with the same color until the breakout in opposite side. For instance, bar 3 with breakout below the lower band; at bar 15 it breaks the upper band : Bars nos. 3 ~14 to be in red and turns blue at bar 15. Is it possible to do in NT?

That would be possible of course as well, it would just depend on the programming done in your conditions for the coloring - your setup could be realized with boolean flags / user variables, set the flags on the crossover conditions of the bands and use them to trigger the coloring, they will maintain their state until changed again by your condition.
