Default Line Color

[habibalex]

I normally use candle stick charts, but sometimes I need to switch to a line chart. Is there a way to change the default line color from Black to 50,50,50,50, but keep my default settings on the chart to candlestick?

Hello habibalex,

You could use a chart template to set the colors and set the bar type.

However, any default settings set in the Data Series window will be specific to the interval, not the chart style selected.

For anyone who wants to change the default line color, open your @ChartStyles.cs file in \bin\Custom\Type

look around line 980 for

public LineOnCloseStyle() : base(ChartStyleType.LineOnClose)
{
	this.UpColor	= Color.FromArgb(50,50,50,50);
}

then open any indicator and compile. Restart ninjatrader and the default color will change from black to a semi transparent gray line.
