Need to change the bar color of the OrderFlowCumulativeDelta Bars

[rajneeshsehgal]

Hi,
I am writing a strategy that uses the OrderFlowCumulativeDelta indicator (I have lifetime license).

I am using OrderFlowCumulativeDelta as a reference via a private variable and have added the Tick data series and also calling Update in the OnBarUpdate method as documented. I am also added the OrderFlowCumulativeDelta indicator to the chart using the AddChartIndicator.

The OrderFlowCumulativeDelta is loaded and is updating correctly.

I am trying to change the Red/Green bar color of the OrderFlowCumulativeDelta based on certain condition. I can change the UpBrush and DownBrush property before adding it to the chart, but I don't know how to change them on OnBarUpdate.

Can anyone please provide me a way to do this?

Thanks.

Hello rajneeshsehgal,

Welcome to the NinjaTrader forums!

Unfortunately, this script wasn't developed in a way that the color of a single bar can be changed.

The rectangles are being custom rendered and is not a plot that can be changed with PlotBrushes.

In a custom coded indicator, you could custom your own rectangle over the bar to change it to your color of preference. The ZOrder of your indicator should be higher than the CumulativeDelta.

Below is a link to an example that draws rectangles over the bars.

Thank you so much Chelsea for the quick response. I tried the sample code you provided and made my own custom indicator that uses the Delta OHLC values calculated by OrderFlowCumulativeDelta and then plots them using rectangles as provided in the sample.

It worked like a charm. Screenshot attached with my custom indicator and original order flow cumulative delta indicator.

I will continue working on seeing how I can dynamically change the color of the bar based on the condition. I should be able to get it to work.

I really appreciate your help.

Thanks.
