Color main price plot

[EthanHunt]

I am trying to color the main price bars based on conditions but can't find the code to do so. I have tried all of the following but I don't think I have the syntax right. Any help would be appreciated.

if ( condition == true)
{
Plots[0].Pen = new Pen(Color.Gold);
Plots[1][0].Pen = Brushes.Gold;
BarBrush = Plots[1].Color.Gold;
}

Hello EthanHunt,

Thanks for opening the thread.

You can programatically change the color of each bar by changing the Brush associated with BarBrush.

Here is the sample code taken from the help guide:

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
    // Sets the bar color to yellow
    BarBrush = Brushes.Yellow;
 
    // Sets the brush used for the bar color to its default color as defined in the chart properties dialog
    BarBrush = null;
 
    // Sets the bar color to yellow if the 20 SMA is above the 50 SMA and the closing
    // price is above the 20 SMA (see image below)
    if (SMA(20)[0] > SMA(50)[0] && Close[0] > SMA(20)[0])
        BarBrush = Brushes.Yellow;
}
