I realize this thread is older than old . . . but I was also wondering about accessing Kagi charts within a ninjascript strategy. How are these "bars" built and how can they be accessed, i.e. what's the difference between Close[0] and Close[1] on a Kagi chart (is a new bar formed when the color changes or from each high to low)? Any examples would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

GuySmiley, you can just normally access the underlying values through the price types, however for Kagi's the High and Low will be what you're working with, as this will define if you get a new bar or not (old low - reversal size breached, old high + reversal size breached).

So check for an up bar (thick line, green per default) you could do simply -

if (High[0] > High[1]) ...
