No Wick indicator regardless of color

[TraderKnG]

Hello to you all. I've been reading in the forum and I have not found what I am looking for exactly. I hope I can find some help and such here. I would like to have an indicator that alerts and positions an arrow underneath or above a candle with no top or bottom wick. To take it a step further the color of the candle should probably change to signify what direction the candle was going in. How about we use Yellow for the candle going down and LightSkyBlue for the candle going up. I'd also like the arrow for the candle going up to be positioned at the bottom of the candle pointing up and for the candle going down I'd like the arrow to be positioned at the top of the candle pointing down. The arrow colors can be and LawnGreen for the candle going up and Red for the candle going down. Hope this makes since.
Your assistance with this effort is greatly appreciated. Thanks you and God bless!

Hello TraderKnG,

Thank you for your post.

I recommend reading our support article on getting started with NinjaScript:

You can use Draw.ArrowUp() or Draw.ArrowDown() to draw arrows above or below a bar:

Alert() can be used to generate an alert from the indicator:

BarBrush can be used to change the color of a bar:

To check if a down bar has no top wick, you would need to check if Open[0] = High[0]. For no bottom wick, check if Close[0] = Low[0].

To check if an up bar has no top wick, you would need to check if Close[0] = High[0]. For no bottom wick, check if Open[0] = Low[0].
