Coloring Candles

[matthew splitt]

Does anyone know of an indicator that colors candles based on price/momentum? Meaning as price gains momentum candles change color reflecting the acceleration/deceleration.

Thank you for your question Matthew. My colleagues and myself were unable to locate any built-in indicator that does this. It is possible that you or another forums member could create such an indicator.

The built-in Momentum indicator does give momentum information you can use. This is documented here,

As far as changing bar color, in NinjaTrader 7 the Heiken-Ashi indicator replaces bars with ones that can be controlled from an indicator, and so indicator's source can be modified to accomplish this goal.
