Bar Brush Colors

[s.kinra]

Hello,
I am willing to paint bars based on conditions so am able to use BarBrushes[0] & CandleOutlineBrushes[0], just one thing missing. I want to change opacity for down bar so I can identify easily, not very sure how to do it. I should be adding open close condition to identify up bar or down bar but how do I change bar fill color opacity. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Hello s.kinra,

Thanks for your post.

You would need to create a custom brush with your opacity setting and then apply that as the BarBrush.

Please see the example here; https://ninjatrader.com/support/foru...408#post784408

Hello Paul,
Thanks for your reply & I've already done it by cloning a brush but the issue is it is doing for complete bar i.e. body & wicks. Body is perfectly fine but wicks are not very clear, I can set the body outline & just wondering if there is a way to set the wicks separately. For now I've a new color to differentiate.
I saw this kind of bars in some indicators but unable to understand the logic behind so asking here.

Hello s.kinra,

Thanks for your reply.

I've answered the initial question you asked regarding changing the bar opacity.

You are now asking for something else. Can you provide a visual example of what you are looking to do?

What chart style are you using? (CandleStick?)

Hello Paul,
You got me to right direction, thanks. I wanted to have opacity for Bar body but was getting wicks also with opacity so I asked it here. What I missed was my Chart Style. I am using the candles which I have modified to get the wick color same as up / down color. I got the answer why it wasn't working when I checked my code with standard candles & got it working. Thanks for your guidance, I'll now figure out a way to change it as well. Just some tweaking will work. Snapshots attached for reference.
