How to change the colour of a base candle (body less than 50% of the range)?

  On my chart, all the candles are either shown in green or red. I want to distinguish the base candles (body less than 50% of the range) with a different colour. How can I do this in ProRealTime? I’m using version 1.1-1.8.0_202.

  Here is the code I wrote to draw the base candle in yellow but I get an error message.

  // Define variables
  vars:
  Range(0), // Range of the candle
  BodySize(0), // Size of the candle body
  CandleColor(black); // Color of the candle (default)

  // Calculate the range and body size
  Range = high – low;
  BodySize = abs(open – close);

  // Check if the body is less than 50% of the range
  if BodySize < (Range * 0.5) then
  CandleColor = yellow; // Change the color to yellow for the base candle

  // Set the candle color
  PlotColor(1, CandleColor);

  Hi @anilkc

  Try this one…

   

   

  Base candle Yellow

  // Calculate the range and body size xRange = Range xBodySize = abs(open - close) // Check if the body is less than 50% of the range if xBodySize < (xRange * 0.5) then DrawCandle(Open,High,Low,Close)Coloured("Yellow") // Change the color to yellow for the base candle EndIf Return

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

  // Calculate the range and body size xRange = Range xBodySize = abs(open - close)   // Check if the body is less than 50% of the range if xBodySize < (xRange * 0.5) then DrawCandle(Open,High,Low,Close)Coloured("Yellow") // Change the color to yellow for the base candle EndIf   Return
