Change plot pen color

[gg80108]

Im trying to get the pen (plot) line color to change depending if above or below 0.. The line plot itself does plot ok above and below 0 but no color change if line below 0.
// change plot color
if ((profit + Position.GetProfitLoss(Close[0], PerformanceUnit.Currency)) >= 0)
StrategyPlot(0).Plots[0].Pen.Color = Color.Blue;
else
StrategyPlot(0).Plots[0].Pen.Color = Color.Red;


// historical PNL
StrategyPlot(0).Name ="PNL Today\n";
StrategyPlot(0).Value.Set(profit + Position.GetProfitLoss(Close[0], PerformanceUnit.Currency));

Please try via the PlotColors method in NT7 -

if ((profit + Position.GetProfitLoss(Close[0], PerformanceUnit.Currency)) >= 0)
StrategyPlot(0).Plots[0].PlotColors[0][0] = Color.Blue;
else
StrategyPlot(0).Plots[0].PlotColors[0][0] = Color.Red;

This does not work for me

I had this same issue, found this thread, and it does not work.

In a strategy, using StrategyPlot. Using Bertrand's code above, I wrote:

StrategyPlot(0).Plots[0].PlotColors[0][0] = Color.Green;

and get an error upon compilation:
'NinjaTrader.Gui.Chart.Plot' does not contain a definition for 'PlotColors'...

Indeed, when I type the code above, I do not see the Intellisense option for PlotColors. Am I missing some sort of reference?

Just to clarify, in the strategy initialization, I am

Add(StrategyPlot(0));
StrategyPlot(0).PanelUI = 1;
StrategyPlot(0).Plots[0].Pen.Width = 2;
StrategyPlot(0).Plots[0].Pen.Color = Color.Blue;

and then on elsewhere in the strategy I am trying to change colors via PlotColors.

Insight? Thanks!

StrategyPlot(0).PlotColors[0][0] = Color.Blue;
Ended up working for me.
