Accessing color of ChartBars

[RuthB]

Hello,

In my strategy using NT8, I need to know the colors of individual bars of the ChartBars like in a Loop as below. How can I do that?

for (int barIndex = ChartBars.FromIndex; barIndex <= ToIndex; barIndex++)
{
//Access color of individual bars
}

I am a newbie, tried looking up several things, but could not find anything that could solve my issue.

Looks like things have changed between NT7 and NT8.

Thanks.

Hello RuthB,

Thanks for your reply and welcome to the NinjaTrader forums.

Rather than elaborately trying to read a bars color, it is easier and quicker to simply read the condition that colors the bar. If the Close is greater than the Open then the bar will be colored Green. If the Close is less than the Open then the bar would be colored Red.

Thanks Paul. I tried using the conditions for coloring the bars and it served my purpose. Appreciate it.
