Change Panel Background Color

[22eerman]

Hi,

I use 3 standard indicators to determine a possible trade set-up. I have now configured an alert that gives a pop up dialog and a generates a sound.
I would like to add a visual option that changes the backgound color in one of 3 configured panels (selectable) as long as the alert conditions are still met (true). Any suggestions?

Welcome to the forums 22eerman, thank you for your post!

Are you setting up Alerts on a chart or are you referring to using your own NinjaScript indicator that creates alerts that you would also like to have change the panel's background?

Chart Alerts do not have the ability to change background color, but this is possible through NinjaScript. You would want to investigate using the BackBrush or BackBrushAll properties. An indicator will only be able to modify its own panel, or all panels with BackBrushAll. Publicly available documentation is linked below.

Please let us know if we can be of further help.
