setBarBgColor

[clearpicks]

Can someone tell me why the following efs paints the last two bars with white background color instead of the bar with index -1 only?

function preMain() {
    setPriceStudy(true);
    setStudyTitle("testing");
    setShowCursorLabel(false);
    setComputeOnClose();
}

function main() {

    if ( getBarState() == BARSTATE_ALLBARS ) {
    }
    
    if ( getInterval() == 5 ) {
        if ( getCurrentBarIndex() == -1 ) {
            debugPrintln(getValue("Hour", 0, -1) + ":" + getValue("Minute", 0, -1));
            setBarBgColor(Color.white);
        }
    }
}

Hello Clearpicks,

Without setComputeOnClose(), only bar -1 will be colored. With setComputeOnClose() colors are carried forward to bar 0 by default.

I would recommend using getBarState() and checking for NEWBAR rather than using setComputeOnClose() for controlling code execution.
