BarBrushes[0] - color of the candles overrided by another indicator.

BarBrushes[0] - get the color of the candles that were overrided by another indicator.

hello, there was a question about the priority color of the bar, I use several indicators that paint the bars with BarBrushes [0], I need to make sure that in the priority indicator Re-paint the bars that have already been painted by another indicator are repainted with the priority indicator.

eg indicator 1 painted over the bar. indicator 2 repainted this bar (already repainted by the first indicator) in a different color. how to do it?

Hello memonlog,
I guess instead of painting bars in each indicator you should have a separate indicator which will only paint bars, call all your 3 indicators in this new one & paint bars as per your requirement / conditions from any / all 3 indicators you called so you have a better control on paint bars. I believe Indicators can't interact with each other (exception - AddOn) so ind1 would not recognize if bars are painted by ind2 or other & final result should be the last ordered indicator on chart which will override others.
Hope it helps!

thanks for the option and suggestion, but it doesn't suit me. I am waiting for a response from support, if there is no simple solution, then perhaps in the priority indicator i can paint the bars with a different method?, for example OnRender or some other option? wondering how to paint a bar in OnRender by the way?

Hello memonolog,

The priority of BarBrush or BarBrushes is in the order the indicator is added to the Configured indicators on the chart.

The Z-Order of indicators also applies of BarBrush, and is also affected by SetZOrder(). If you have a specific indicator that you would like to have final control of the color, set this indicator to the highest zorder.

It is also possible to overlay your own rendered bars. Below are links to scripts in the User App Share that do this.
