Ninjascript: changing colors of Orderflow VWAP channels? (Lifetime License)

[focus333]

Hi there!

How can I change the color used between the Orderflow VWAP bands using C# based on a condition? See the blue background channels in the screenshot.

Thank you kindly!

Hello focus333,

Thank you for your reply.

Those colors are controlled by the properties BandAreaBrush, BandAreaBrush1, and BandAreaBrush2. There's not individual colors for just the upper or lower one of those, it's the same color on both sides. Here's a simple example:

 private OrderFlowVWAP VWAP1;
protected override void OnStateChange()
{
if (State == State.SetDefaults)
{
Description = @"Enter the description for your new custom Strategy here.";
Name = "ExampleChangeOFVWAPBandColor";
Calculate = Calculate.OnBarClose;
EntriesPerDirection = 1;
EntryHandling = EntryHandling.AllEntries;
IsExitOnSessionCloseStrategy = true;
ExitOnSessionCloseSeconds = 30;
IsFillLimitOnTouch = false;
MaximumBarsLookBack = MaximumBarsLookBack.TwoHundredFiftySix;
OrderFillResolution = OrderFillResolution.Standard;
Slippage = 0;
StartBehavior = StartBehavior.WaitUntilFlat;
TimeInForce = TimeInForce.Gtc;
TraceOrders = false;
RealtimeErrorHandling = RealtimeErrorHandling.StopCancelClose;
StopTargetHandling = StopTargetHandling.PerEntryExecution;
BarsRequiredToTrade = 20;
// Disable this property for performance gains in Strategy Analyzer optimizations
// See the Help Guide for additional information
IsInstantiatedOnEachOptimizationIteration = true;
}
else if (State == State.Configure)
{
AddDataSeries(Data.BarsPeriodType.Tick, 1);
}
else if (State == State.DataLoaded)
{
VWAP1 = OrderFlowVWAP(VWAPResolution.Standard, TradingHours.String2TradingHours("CME US Index Futures RTH"), VWAPStandardDeviations.Three, 1, 2, 3);
AddChartIndicator(VWAP1);
}
}

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
VWAP1.BandAreaBrush = Brushes.Green;
VWAP1.BandAreaBrush2 = Brushes.Pink;
VWAP1.BandAreaBrush3 = Brushes.Purple;
}
}

So yes, you can certainly change those based on conditions in your code, just know that changing them will change both the upper and lower band to that color.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.
