A study in GradientColor


//Indicator Long Short

input: Length( 20 ) ;



Value1 = (GradientColor( SlowK(length), 0, 100, Black, Green));

SetPlotColor(1, value1);

plot1( HighestFC( high , Length ), "Ind Go Long" );

    

Value2 = (GradientColor( SlowK(length), 0, 100, Black, magenta));

SetPlotColor(2, value2);

plot2( LowestFC( Low, Length ), "Ind Go Short" );

is it possible to draw the background of different colours by the day of the week that we are or that were?
ex

Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday
green yellow blue orange red brown pink

the candle should be white for up and black for down so we don't need to change them the colors.

While MC is being short in different colors to call plots and tl's etc I wrote some functions to call for more colors to choose in plots etc. No need to look for other colors anymore. The 125 colors are out of the RGB-table and sorted in alphabetical order starting with color_"xxxx". Have fun.

Regards.

Maybe it is obvious but I did the following to get the background paint color:

Set study to entire series
Overlay indicators

Changed this

plot1( HighestFC( high , 1000)+50,"");

or for below
plot1(Low-20,"");
