Order Flow Cumulative Delta on Strategy Builder

[terminatorT1000]

I have a lifetime license, and I want to color my bars differently using the strategy builder based on the cumulative delta indicator, but it isn't in the default list of indicators. I tried the sample custom render but I got a state error. Is there any workaround you know of?

Hello terminatorT1000,

Thank you for your note.

Unfortunately, none of the Order Flow items are available to use in the Strategy Builder nor would you be able to set bar colors based on indicators without unlocking the code. However, the Order Flow Cumulative Delta can be manually referenced in an unlocked script:

I'm attaching a very simple example of changing bar colors based on conditions.

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

Hey Kate, I did figure out how to draw different colors based on other indicators, in the strategy builder there is a drawing>set bar brush which works for all the standard indicators, just not for these advanced order flow ones, Its in the actions of a set.

Hello terminatorT1000,

Thank you for your reply.

Thanks for letting me know, I actually had no idea those were in with the drawing tool options. Even after 3+ years here I swear I learn something new every day!
