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"
```

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
```

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 🙂

```
//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.
