Instead of BarBrushes how to I say BarOutline?

if(Close[1] < Open[1] && Low[0] < Low[1] && Close[0] > Close[1] && BarBrushes[2] != Brushes.RosyBrown)


{
BarBrushes[0] = Brushes.RosyBrown;
BarBrushes[1] = Brushes.Brown;
}

I want to keep the original color of the two bars but just have them outlined.

Hi Chelsea B.

Thanks for that link. I'm doing something wrong here because it's not displaying on chart. Can you please take a look at my pic?

In your pic from post #1 we see the outline is already black. If you want it thicker you need to do that from the ChartStyle button on your toolbar.

Hello trdninstyle,

eDanny is correct. Try setting the outline to yellow or something that stands out.

Also, use prints to confirm the condition is evaluating as true.

From the pic I drew those bold black lines from paint after I screenshot it. If I did it from ChartStyle then all of the candles would be bold black. I already have a twobar reversal painting the bars but I just want them to be outlined instead and not effecting the color of the bars.

My bad, I mis read what u were saying. What u said did fix it. Thank you.

I see what u guys are saying now, sorry it took me so long.

I grabbed the color Cyan, I'll find a color that looks better. Now if I want it to be black but very bold, could I say BoldBlack?

[NinjaTrader_ChelseaB]

Hello trdninstyle,

BoldBlack is not a color. Black is color.

If you want to increase the outline width right-click the chart -> select Data Series -> expand Chart style -> expand Candle body outline -> set Width to a larger value.

Or alternatively, you can create a custom chart style script that renders a different outline width.

I tried that it thickens all of them but is there a way in the code to tell it to print thicker?

[NinjaTrader_ChelseaB]

Hello trdninstyle,

This is not documented, but using undocumented code you can change the chart style stroke width for all candles.

Thats interesting tho ...

ChartBars.Properties.ChartStyle.Stroke.Width = 6; //Change Candle Outline Width

That would be good if the department from up top worked on that and made it an option.

I have both Up and Down indicators now but they're separate indicators right now. How would I place both indicators onto one script?

[NinjaTrader_ChelseaB]

Hello trdninstyle,

Copy the logic in OnBarUpdate() in one script over to the other script.

You may want to consider using an else if for the second condition.

[trdninstyle]

I placed the 2nd one between the brackets with just an 'else'. It was easier than I thought it would be. At first, I had a bunch of errors, but I figured it out. I just have to change the name to indicate up & down. The scary thing is, I'm picking up on this stuff lol Thank you.
