Order Flow Cumalative Delta Color Customization

[liquid150]

I need some help with the correct syntax for changing the color of bullish bars in the Order Flow Cumulative Delta indicators. I am color blind, so the default colors, red and lime green, look exactly the same to me when they are adjacent. When I add a strategy to a chart I need to be able to adjust the colors in the strategy code.



Since the source code is unavailable I don't seem to have any ability to extrapolate the syntax for changing the bar colors.

Hello liquid150,

The 'Color for down bars' and 'Color for up bars' can be set in the Indicator parameters by right-clicking the chart and selecting Indicators.

Below is a public link to the help guide on modifying indicator parameters.

In a NinjaScript Strategy, the .DownBrush and .UpBrush can be set as properties once you have an instance of the indicator.

For example:

private OrderFlowCumulativeDelta myDelta;


protected override void OnStateChange()
{
	if (State == State.SetDefaults)
	{
		Name				= "MyIndicatorName";
	}
	else if (State == State.Configure)
	{
		AddDataSeries(Data.BarsPeriodType.Tick, 1);
	}
	else if (State == State.DataLoaded)
	{
		myDelta				= OrderFlowCumulativeDelta(BarsArray[0], CumulativeDeltaType.BidAsk, CumulativeDeltaPeriod.Session, 0);
		myDelta.DownBrush	= Brushes.Pink;
		myDelta.UpBrush		= Brushes.Blue;
		
		AddChartIndicator(myDelta);
	}
}

Thanks Chelsea. This is what I needed since it is hard coded in strategy:


myDelta.DownBrush = Brushes.Pink; myDelta.UpBrush = Brushes.Blue; AddChartIndicator(myDelta);
