BackBrush

[staycool3_a]

Hello

Say I load different data series in my strategy. Then, load the strategy on the primary data series in my chart. I also, load all the secondary appropriate data series on the chart as well. How can I BackBrush of the secondary data series and their chart regardless of what is happening on the primary data series.

[CODE] else if (State == State.Configure)
{

AddDataSeries("AUDUSD", new BarsPeriod { BarsPeriodType = BarsPeriodType.Day, Value = 1 }, "Forex");//9
AddDataSeries("NZDUSD", new BarsPeriod { BarsPeriodType = BarsPeriodType.Day, Value = 1 }, "Forex");//10
}

i'm setting a bool to true after XYZ happens. AUDUSD and NZDUSD bools are independent. I'd like to color the appropriate backbrush when the bool is set to true. Is that possible?

				if(EnvironmentIsLong_CAD==true)
					
				{
		//			BackBrush = Brushes.Aqua;						
				}
					
				if(EnvironmentIsShort_CAD==true)
				{
		//			BackBrush  = Brushes.Coral;		
				}

I'm able to use the above but that is only for the primary data series. is it possible to color a backbrush on secondary data series independently? IsGlobal is not an option for me b/c each bool is independent and I only want to appropriate chart to have it's own backbrush.

I did look under this and didnt find an answer:

I just ended up creating an indicator so my problem is solved but would be nice to know the answer.

Thanks

Hello staycool3_a,

Thank you for the question.

In this situation, the extra series you manually add to the chart are not associated with the strategy so you have used the correct solution to add an indicator to those series to have them be "individual".

Currently, the only way to have extra panels that are associated with the strategy would be IsOverlay = false indicators the strategy adds but those do not contain a bar series to BackBrush.

I could put in a feature request for an AddDataSeries overload that specifies to append a visual Bar series to the chart, would this be an acceptable solution to your question?

I look forward to being of further assistance.
