Chart Shading

[spottysallrite]

I would like to shade various time segments of a simple price chart. Seems like Draw.Region() is the way to do this, but I'm baffled as to how to implement this. Help !

Hello spottysallrite,

Draw.Region is used to shade between two plots, is that what you are trying to do?

[spottysallrite]

No, I just want the area on a chart to be shaded between say, 7:30 and 8:00, all the way vertically up and down.

Hello spottysallrite,

You can use the BackBrush to do that. https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...tsub=backbrush

You may also want to check the public user app share, there are some existing items to highlight periods of time like the following item: https://ninjatraderecosystem.com/use...ezonecolors-2/

Works ! Thanks !

(Used "BackBrushAll" within specified time segments. eg,
if (nTrdTime1_Tog) BackBrushAll = Brushes.PaleGreen;
else BackBrushAll = null;
)
