How to ID the color of the last bar and its background

[waynecd]

Hi,

Is there a way to reference the last color of a bar or its background?

i.e.,

if(ColorLastBar == Color.red) ...

or,

if(ColorLastBarsBackground == Color.red) ...

Of course the "ColorLastBar..." variables I used here are fictitious, just used to clarify my question.

Thanks

There currently isn't a function that will do that. You will need to keep track of the bar and background colors using your own variables and code logic

I found this (though not for bar color, just background):

getChartBG()

attached is a sample script

getChartBG() retrieves the color of the background of the chart and not of the background of the bar [ie the one set through setBarBgColor()] which is what I believe you were asking about

Hi Alex,

Yes, I asked about the candle color.
Just thought others reading this might find it useful since since that function is not found in the "eSignal EFS Developer's Reference".

FWIW it is included in the EFS KnowledgeBase which is the most current developer's reference and that should be used as the primary resource
