    Hi

    Just wondering if its possible to plot the moving averages so that they plot behind the bars or candles instead of on top of them?

    Thanks

    I don’t think that there is a setting that can achieve this but it is certainly possible to create an indicator that first draws the averages and then draws candles. When applied to the price chart the candles should then be on top of the averages. In fact I think that just drawing candles should put them on top of any indicators but my platform is not open at the moment to test this.

    See here for the DRAWCANDLE instruction:

    Yes, it works!

    r = 0
g = 0
b = 0
IF close > open THEN
   b = 255
ELSIF close < open THEN
   r = 255
ENDIF
DRAWCANDLE(open,high,low,close) COLOURED(r,g,b,255)// BORDERCOLOR(R,G,B)
RETURN

    Sorry I am new to this and I’m having trouble with the formula. What do I have wrong? When I apply this indicator to a chart does it override the “Price” that is already there?

    Thanks

    IF close > open THEN
BARCOLOR =  COLOURED(0,0,153)
ELSIF close < open THEN
BARCOLOR =  COLOURED(153,0,0)
ENDIF
DRAWBARCHART(open,high,low,close) BARCOLOR
RETURN

    I may have fixed it. Thanks for the help. Just one question. Do I add this as an indicator and does it override the price settings?

    r = 0
g = 0
b = 0

IF close > open THEN
R = 0
G = 0
B = 153
ELSIF close < open THEN
R = 153
G = 0
B = 0
ENDIF
DRAWBARCHART(open,high,low,close) COLOURED(r,g,b,255)

RETURN

    I called the indicator “Draw Bar Chart”. Do I add it like I have done in this image.

    Add the indicator to a price chart via the spanner in the price chart label. It does not override the price/candles/bars drawn on the chart but simply draws on top of them so make sure your chart is set to display the same type of price bars/candles etc.
