Trending Candlesticks

[[email protected]]

Does anyone know or have an indicator that can replicate the attached chart to show changes in the color of the candlesticks with a change in trend? The company who designed this is out of business. Thanks.

Hello Carolefaw,
You can use a moving average (example 200 period) to identify trend & use BarBrushes[0] & CandleOutlineBrushes[0] to achieve this.
Hope it helps!

There can be several ways to identify a trend. That could be a moving average, comparing the OHLC values of previous bars, or another way to identify a trend.

If you are new to programming, you could consider using the Strategy Builder To create some logical checks on moving averages and different bars and then creating actions to Set Bar Color and Set Candle Outline Color. You could then click the view code button to see the resulting syntax and when you are familiar with the syntax, you could implement the code in an indicator.
