Color Hollow Candlesticks?

[davydhnz]

Is there anyway to fill bars in a hollow candlestick chart?

I want my indicator to color the hollow bars based on certain criteria. Is this possible?

Thank you!

Hello davydhnz,

Thanks for your post.

There are no methods or properties available for coloring in the body of candles when using the Hollow Candlestick chart style.

However, you could consider using the Candlestick chart style and setting the CandleOutlineBrush to say green for up bars and setting the BarBrush to Transparent so the candle body is hollow.

Then, you could create your condition for coloring the body of the candle and set the BarBrush to say green within that condition to fill in the body of the candle with color.

See the help guide documentation for more information about CandleOutlineBrush and BarBrush as well as sample code.

Please let me know if I may assist further.
