Change entire background color on trigger

  Can I change the entire background color on an indicator trigger?  Like 0=red, 1=green?

  This a custom version of RSI:

  MyRSI = Rsi[14](close) if MyRSI >= 50 THEN backgroundcolor(0,255,0,20) ELSE backgroundcolor(255,0,0,30) ENDIF RETURN MyRSI AS "Rsi"

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7

  MyRSI = Rsi[14](close) if MyRSI >= 50  THEN    backgroundcolor(0,255,0,20) ELSE    backgroundcolor(255,0,0,30) ENDIF RETURN MyRSI AS "Rsi"

  Hi Roberto,

  Is there a way to change colour on chart based on price rather than an indicator?

  Thanks in advance

  Yes:

  If close > X then //set a background colour Else //set a different background colour Endif

  1 2 3 4 5

  If close > X then    //set a background colour Else    //set a different background colour Endif

  Hi Roberto,

  I am really bad with coding, I wonder if you can help me.

  While trading on a 5 min chart using Heikin Ashi candlesticks, I would like to plot on chart a background color that matches the color of the price candle sticks as they form..  is there a way to achieve this or at least plot the background matching the colour of previous candle color closure?

   

  Thanks a lot

   

  W 🙂

  HA BackGroundColor

  //Heikin Ashi If BarIndex = 0 then HAClose = TotalPrice HAOpen = (Open + Close)/2 Else HAClose = TotalPrice HAOpen = (HAOpen[1] + HAClose[1])/2 EndIf If HAClose >= HAOpen then BackGroundColor(0,255,0,50) Else BackGroundColor(255,0,0,50) EndIf Return

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16

  //Heikin Ashi   If BarIndex = 0 then HAClose = TotalPrice HAOpen = (Open + Close)/2 Else HAClose = TotalPrice HAOpen = (HAOpen[1] + HAClose[1])/2 EndIf   If HAClose >= HAOpen then BackGroundColor(0,255,0,50) Else BackGroundColor(255,0,0,50) EndIf Return

  Hi @Wolf,

  The above is only for Heikin Ashi because, as you probably know, the calculations for HA are different than for the “normal” candles.
