Change background color via code

[MadScientist]

How do I change the background color of a chart via code? For instance, for a custom indicator, if EMA is rising I'll like the chart background color to be green or if its falling I'll like it to be red.

Hello MadScientist,

Thanks for your post.

You can use BackBrush for coloring the panel background or BackBrushAll for the chart (all panels) background.

You can use the IsRising() or IsFalling() for your direction checks.

Example:

if (IsRising(EMA(20))
{
BackBrush = Brushes.Green;
}
