How to "flash" the chart (change BG color for a blink) when a condition is met?

[€ur0z0ne-Tr@der]

Hi guys,


Is there a decent way how I can change the BG color of an advanced chart window for a very short period if a condition is met?

with flashing I mean only for a very short time period eg.

=> condition is met
=> change Chart BG to orange
=> revert back to default ChartBG after a very short period of time eg 2/10 sec or whatever.


Thanx

Hello EZ-T,

We don't currently have a method for executing EFS code on a timer. Feel free to send a suggestion to [email protected].

An execution of an EFS occurs when the Advanced Chart receives a trade update or if a formula draws some buttons on the chart that are linked to a specific function in the EFS, which can be manually clicked to execute the function.

The closest thing you could do is record the time in milliseconds with a global variable when the condition first becomes true. You would also set a global boolean flag to true that you would use to check the elapsed time since the last execution on each subsequent trade update. Once you see that at least 2/10 of a second have elapsed, reset your global flag to false and change the background color back to your default.
