Volume based candle bars

[anupsoni]

Hi,

is there any code available for volume based candle color indicator for nt8?

like in the image attached 2 min candle with volume > 300000

is coded red and yellow depending on open and close value of that candle

did this by modifying bettervolume indicator nt7 but its too hard for nt8 in which bettervolume indicator seems unchangable.

Something like this code in OnBarUpdate ought to work:

if (Volume[0] > 300000)
{
   if (Close[0] < Open[0])
   {
      BarBrushes[0] = Brushes.Red ;
      CandleOutlineBrushes[0] =  Brushes.Red;
   }
   else
   {
      BarBrushes[0] = Brushes.Yellow ;
      CandleOutlineBrushes[0] =  Brushes.Yellow;
   }
}
