I need help with code to add color to candles/bars ?

[SJunior]

My knowledge in NT8 programming is very little and I need to add the following situation in the source code, but I have already tried some alternatives, but without success.



If possible, someone who can help me and write the code, because I already had the help of the support that indicated technical documents, but I couldn't put it into practice in the indicator code.



Change the candlesticks/bars chains, when:

HS = (d18[0] > 0 && dO18[0] < 0 && d18[0] > d38[0] && dO18[0] < d38[0]);
color Lime

LS = (d18[0] < 0 && dO18[0] > 0 && d18[0] < d38[0] && dO18[0] > d38[0]);
color red

H = (d18[0] > 0 && dO18[0] < 0 && d18[0] > d38[0] && dO18[0] < d38[0] && d18[0] > d208[0] && dO18[0 ] < d208[0]);
color cyan

L = (d18[0] < 0 && dO18[0] > 0 && d18[0] < d38[0] && dO18[0] > d38[0] && d18[0] < d208[0] && dO18[0 ] > d208[0]);
color magenta

Below is the complete and working code, but without the candles/bars coloring coding.

The color of the candle body is determined by BarBrush.

The background color of the vertical column that contains
the candle is controlled by BackBrush.

[SJunior]

bltdavid, Yes, but I couldn't do the coding of this function in my indicator.

Could you help me with this coding?

[NinjaTrader_ChelseaB]

Hello SJunior,

As an example:

if (d18[0] > 0 && dO18[0] < 0 && d18[0] > d38[0] && dO18[0] < d38[0])
BarBrush = Brushes.Red;
