change bar colors on previous bar

[billr]

Hello,
I would like to be able to set a user defined variable (n) and each time a new bar closes, change the color of all bars further back than bar(n). For example, lets say I want the chart to plot the latest 10 bars in red and all others in black. Is this possible?

thanks.

Hello billr,

That would be possible. You would have to overload the Plot() method like in the HeikenAshi indicator. To view the source code of the HeikenAshi Indicator you may go to the Tools -> Edit NinjaScript -> Indicators and double click on the HeikenAshi.

Let us know if we can be of further assistance.

Look up BarColorSeries in NT Help.

BarColorSeries[n] = Color.Black;

Just saw your response to this. I assumed that BarColorSeries(10), for example, would only affect bar (10). I'll give it a try. Thanks.

Yes, but you are doing it on a stream, so on each bar, it is coloring the bar 10 bars back, which then stays that color.

OK, wasn't sure if they might reset, makes sense. Thanks again!
