Hello, Can anyone please point me, if it is possible to color different numbers in numbers bars using ASCIL, based on my own different conditions? I did find out how to use VolumeAtPriceForBars to make different background colors for levels in numbers bar, but can I control color of individual bid/ask prints in the bar? If so – is there any example? Thank you.

Ganz, Thank you for your reply. I know your thread. Indeed it is a main source of inspiration for me as I am not a programmer. Thank you once more for sharing the codes. But there is no open code for coloring the bid/ask letters (not background). For example – print light blue all bids that have lower value than 5 (not background but the color of the numbers). If you have coded that – would you be willing to share part of this code so I get some inspiration how this is done? Thank you very much.

The coloring method is too global for me. I wanted to try to code something in the style of ofa footprints which is done for Ninjatrader here https://www.bigmiketrading.com/elite-circle/2100-volume-ladder-highlight-addition-109.html#post359541 So I guess this is not yet possible with SierraChart.

imdtrader sc.Index sc.ChartBarSpacing is the spacing between the chart bars in pixels. This is for the chart your custom study is applied to. sc.StudyRegionTopCoordinate is the Y-coordinate of the top of the region that the study is in. This value is given in the coordinate system of the client window. sc.StudyRegionBottomCoordinate is the Y-coordinate of the bottom of the region that the study is in. This value is given in the coordinate system of the client window. float sc.YPixelCoordinateToGraphValue(int YPixelCoordinate); it is possible to use ACS Tools http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?l=doc/doc_DLLTools.html to mark it as you need Date Time Of Last Edit: 2013-10-02 08:52:36

Thank you ganz. This is perhaps a bit too complicated for me now, but I will try to expand my knowledge in this field.

Thank you for the link ganz. I was not actually aware of the Text On Dominant Side Auction text coloring method. This is very close to my needs. Thank you.
