Classical Bars with Up/Down Colors?

Postby Archer » 11 Apr 2023

Hi!

I am trying to figure out if it is possible to have classical bars with up color "Green" and down color "Red" in Multicharts.NET. And when there is a "doji" it should be for example "grey". Is this possible with Multicharts.NET as it is now or do I need an indicator to do this?

Thank you.

You will need an indicator to color the bars as described.

Hello Archer,

You can also set the chart style in Format->Instrument->Style tab or use the pre-built MACD_Gradient indicator.

Thanks a lot to both of you, TraderGuy and Polly!

Interesting .NET article TraderGuy. I'll look into that one 👍

Regarding the MACD_Gradient Polly I got it attached to the bars but it is only painting brown for both up and down bars. Is this because of the red/green combo? Could you please post an settings example on how to get red down bars and green up bars?

Again thank you 👍

Edit: Polly, I found out how it works. Since it follows the MACD calculations I understand that it is not possible to have strictly red/green bars.
