How to avoid changing the color of the candle until the bar is closed?

[cmtjoancolmenero]

I have an indicator that depending on some parameters I paint the candle one way or antoher, what I want is to paint this candle when the bar closes. I'm using `onBarClose()` and the configurator is `Calculate = Calculate.OnBarClose;`. what I want is when a new candle is generated paint it using for instance Brushes.Pink, and when it closes do the logic I already have to paint it in the correct color.
So if I'm on a char of 1 min, in the 0:59:00 what is going to happen even if the price is going up/down the candle color would be Brushes.Pink, and once it is 0:00:00 (a new bar is added to the chart) it is not as the real color (previously calculated by algo)

How can I do it?

Hello cmtjoancolmenero,

Thank you for your post.

Using Calculate.OnBarClose would mean the logic would only be executed once the bar has closed.

"what I want is when a new candle is generated paint it using for instance Brushes.Pink, and when it closes do the logic I already have to paint it in the correct color."

If you want to change the color of the currently forming bar, you could need to use Calculate.OnPriceChange or Calculate.OnEachTick. With either of these Calculate settings, Close[0] would be the currently forming bar. To change the color of the previously closed bar, you can access it by using Close[1]. [1] will be the just closed bar in this mode.
