BarColorSeries not working correctly in real time

[suprsnipes]

Hi,

I have the following code that when loading on historical data the BarColorSeries works perfectly however in real time it seems to keep coloring bars where the condition is not true any reason as to why this may be happening?

if(Highs[1][0] < CurrentDayOHL(BarsArray[1]).CurrentHigh[0]
&& Lows[1][0] > CurrentDayOHL(BarsArray[1]).CurrentLow[0]
&& Lows[2][0] == CurrentDayOHL(BarsArray[2]).CurrentLow[0])
{
BarColorSeries[0] = Color.Cyan;    
}
            
if(Highs[1][0] < CurrentDayOHL(BarsArray[1]).CurrentHigh[0]
&& Lows[1][0] > CurrentDayOHL(BarsArray[1]).CurrentLow[0]
&& Highs[2][0] == CurrentDayOHL(BarsArray[2]).CurrentHigh[0])
{
BarColorSeries[0] = Color.HotPink;    
}

Hello suprsnipes,

Thank you for your post.

You will need to set a BarColorSeries for when these conditions are not true such as the following:

if(Highs[1][0] < CurrentDayOHL(BarsArray[1]).CurrentHigh[0]
&& Lows[1][0] > CurrentDayOHL(BarsArray[1]).CurrentLow[0]
&& Lows[2][0] == CurrentDayOHL(BarsArray[2]).CurrentLow[0])
{
BarColorSeries[0] = Color.Cyan;    
}
            
[B]else if([/B]Highs[1][0] < CurrentDayOHL(BarsArray[1]).CurrentHigh[0]
&& Lows[1][0] > CurrentDayOHL(BarsArray[1]).CurrentLow[0]
&& Highs[2][0] == CurrentDayOHL(BarsArray[2]).CurrentHigh[0])
{
BarColorSeries[0] = Color.HotPink;    
}

[B]else[/B]
{
BarColorSeries[0] = Color.Black;
}

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hi,

I am still having problems where the BarColorSeries does not color the bar correctly in real time. I am using a basic indicator and I'm not quite sure why the bars are not correcly updated as per the code and find when I reload Ninjascript the bars are colored correctly.

This is my code;

protected override void Initialize()
{
Add(symbol1, PeriodType.Minute,1);
Add(symbol2, PeriodType.Minute,1);

CalculateOnBarClose = true;
Overlay                = true;    
}

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
if(Highs[1][1] < CurrentDayOHL(BarsArray[1]).CurrentHigh[1]
&& Lows[1][1] > CurrentDayOHL(BarsArray[1]).CurrentLow[1]    
&& Lows[2][1] == CurrentDayOHL(BarsArray[2]).CurrentLow[1])
{
BarColorSeries[1] = Color.Olive;    
}

else if(Highs[1][1] < CurrentDayOHL(BarsArray[1]).CurrentHigh[1]
&& Lows[1][1] > CurrentDayOHL(BarsArray[1]).CurrentLow[1]    
&& Highs[2][1] == CurrentDayOHL(BarsArray[2]).CurrentHigh[1])
{
BarColorSeries[1] = Color.Gray;    
}
            
else
{
BarColorSeries[1] = Color.Blue;    
}

}

Hello suprsnipes,

Thank you for your response.

Can you attach your indicator .cs file to your response so I may investigate this matter further on my end?

You will find the indicator in the following directory on your PC: (My) Documents\NinjaTrader 7\bin\Custom\Indicator

I look forward to your response.
