BackColor for previous bar

[AnotherTrader]

Hi,

I understand that BackColor sets the back color of the current bar.

i.e. http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...?backcolor.htm

I want to be able to set the BackColor of a HISTORICAL bar (rather than of the current bar).

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks.

Hello,
You can use BackColorSeries to change the color of historical bars based off of conditions of the current bar.
For example:

if(Close[0] > Open [0]
{
BackColorSeries[5] = Color.Red; // Changes the bar 5 bars back from current bar to red when the Close of the current bar is greater than the Open.
}
