Dynamic Paint Price Bars

[mbuta]

Hi,
Is it possible to turn off/on the PriceBarColor?

If yes, can anybody tell me what I am doing wrong?
Belowis the code I am trying.
Thank you.


function main(Show64CH, ShowPaint, PaintBackground, ShowSignals){

if(ShowPaint == null) {ShowPaint = 0;}
if(Show64CH == null) { Show64CH = 0;}
if(PaintBackground == null) { PaintBackground = 0;}
if(ShowSignals == null) { ShowSignals = 0;}

.......................

//{{PAINT PRICE BARS

if (ShowPaint > 0){
setColorPriceBars(true);
if (Strategy.isLong() == 1) {setPriceBarColor(Color.lime);}
else if (Strategy.isShort() == 1) {setPriceBarColor(Color.red);}
else {setPriceBarColor(Color.lightgrey);}
} else {setColorPriceBars(false);}

mbuta,

I tested this and discovered that setColorPriceBars() is not designed to be turned on and off on a per bar basis.

Could you specify what the desired result is? Did you want all bars' coloring to be shut off under certain conditions?

I reread your code, and see that you are checking against an input parameter. This should work fine as this would remain a constant throughout the life of the study.

Hi,

Yes is not "designed" to be turned on/off.

I circumvent the problem by painting the bars for the zero setting based on close > or < than open, like they do it.

Thanks,
