[llanqui]

Is there a way to have the bottom part of a bar one color and the top part of the bar another?

thx

Hello llanqui,

Thanks for your post.

To clarify, are you referring to changing the color of a bar on the chart so that it is two different colors?

There are no supported methods or properties available to make a single bar two separate colors.

A bar on the chart is only able to be set to a single color by specifying BarBrush or BarBrushes.

Hello llanqui,

Thanks for your note.

This could possibly be accomplished by custom rendering on top of the bars like the HeikenAshi8 indicator does. You could color half the bar one color and the other half another color.

Note that this would require custom rendering two rectangles.

You could view the SampleCustomRender script that comes default with NinjaTrader to gain a good understanding of working with SharpDX. To view the script, open a New > NinjaScript Editor window, open the Indicators folder, and double-click on the SampleCustomRender file.
