Hi I know that we can change the bar/candle color from a study by using DRAWSTYLE_COLOR_BAR, such as "Color Bar HH/LL" But it seems that it only works when the study sc.GraphRegion = 0; If I need to change to bar/candle color from a study with sc.GraphRegion = 1 (plot in region 2); what should I do? I need it to be done within the same study, not from another study. Thanks.

Nobody knows? Or it's not possible to do?

I think it's not possible without ACSIL or Spreadsheet... Date Time Of Last Edit: 2019-05-02 20:27:17

We have tested this and definitely no problem with this: I know that we can change the bar/candle color from a study by using DRAWSTYLE_COLOR_BAR, such as "Color Bar HH/LL" But it seems that it only works when the study sc.GraphRegion = 0; If I need to change to bar/candle color from a study with sc.GraphRegion = 1 (plot in region 2); what should I do? Make sure the scale of the study which is using DRAWSTYLE_COLOR_BAR is set to Automatic and also the other study in the chart region which is displaying price bars. Another thing to check is the study display order: Chart Studies: Study Display Order If there is any further issue let us know. One simple test you can do is add the Heikin Ashi study to chart region 2 and then also add the Color Bar Based on Alert Condition study to the same chart region and set the formula to 1. The bars will all be colored. This is a good way to validate this functionality works. This is what we did. And we apologize for the long delay. Just we are quite busy. Originally we were thinking of setting up a test study for this until we thought of the above . Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

There are more questions. I was answering in #4 on this ... If I need to change to bar/candle color from a study with sc.GraphRegion = 1 (plot in region 2); what should I do? that it is not possible to have a situated study in one region and paint to another region without ACSIL or Spreadsheet, of course, it is possible to take data from region 1 and plot in another study in region 2 as you write Can I have a question / suggestion in this case? If I have a study and would like to make a calculation in one region and also a view (such as an oscillator) but I want to display the alerts in the main chart (region 0), are there other ways instead of tools or duplicating the study? Example: I have SG1 output in Region 2 but SG2 has output in Region 0 from same study. I'm just asking if there's some way about which I don't know. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2019-05-09 18:54:58

Here is my code, please let me know why it doesn't paint the price bar. #include "sierrachart.h" SCDLLName("Color Bar") /==========================================================================/ SCSFExport scsf_ColorBar(SCStudyInterfaceRef sc) { SCSubgraphRef ColorBar = sc.Subgraph[0]; SCSubgraphRef RSI = sc.Subgraph[1]; if (sc.SetDefaults) { // Set the configuration and defaults sc.GraphName = "Color Bar"; sc.StudyDescription = "This study function colors bars based on RSI"; sc.GraphRegion = 1; ColorBar.Name = "Color Bar"; ColorBar.DrawStyle = DRAWSTYLE_COLOR_BAR; ColorBar.SecondaryColorUsed = 1; // true ColorBar.PrimaryColor = RGB(0,255,255); ColorBar.SecondaryColor = RGB(255, 127, 0); RSI.Name = "RSI"; RSI.DrawStyle = DRAWSTYLE_LINE; RSI.PrimaryColor = RGB(255,127,0); sc.AutoLoop = 1; sc.FreeDLL = 1; return; } // Do data processing sc.RSI(sc.Close, RSI, MOVAVGTYPE_SIMPLE, 14); if (RSI[sc.Index] > 50) { ColorBar[sc.Index] = 1; ColorBar.DataColor[sc.Index] = ColorBar.PrimaryColor; } else { ColorBar[sc.Index] = 1; ColorBar.DataColor[sc.Index] = ColorBar.SecondaryColor; } }

Are there already price bars displayed in Chart Region 2? It is only going to color the price bars in chart region 2 assuming that there are bars there to begin with.

The study is in Chart Region 2, I need it to color the main chart price bar(Chart Region 1). Is it possible?

Ok now we finally understand. No, this is not possible. You need a separate study for this. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.
