Using Brushes to color part of the Chart

[jamestrader21x]

I'm having trouble trying to figure out how to use BackBrush to color a portion of the chart. I'm trying to code an band around an SMA. I can add plots and make a band. However, I want to color the background in between the bands ONLY. This is what I have so far. It just colors the whole chart.

if(BandOn == true)
{
BackBrush = Math.Abs(MABand0[1] - Value[0]) == Deviation ? BandColor : BandColor;

if(IsRising(Value))
{
PlotBrushes[0][0] = Bullish;
}

else {PlotBrushes[0][0] = Bearish;}
}

Hello jamestrader21x,

To color the band or area between plots you can use the Region drawing tool for that purpose. There is also a more complex sharpDX version which I have linked as well, that is a more efficient approach if you need to do many regions and is also more configurable on how the region is rendered.

I look forward to being of further assistance.
