Hi, Is there a ACSIL function to retrieve the color of the current bar? ...aka....color at sc.BaseData[sc.Index] fyi, I am using renko bars if that matters. thanks |

some more clarification: i would like to find the color of the current bar (or a previous bar) using an ACSIL function....i.e whether it is a green (up bar) or red (down bar). is there a builtin ACSIL function to do this? if not, any recommendation how to go about getting the bar's color? thanks again |

if ((sc.BaseDataIn[SC_LAST][sc.Index] - sc.BaseDataIn[SC_OPEN][sc.Index]) >= 0 && sc.GetBarHasClosedStatus() == BHCS_BAR_HAS_CLOSED) BarColor = 1; // Green if ((sc.BaseDataIn[SC_LAST][sc.Index] - sc.BaseDataIn[SC_OPEN][sc.Index]) < 0 && sc.GetBarHasClosedStatus() == BHCS_BAR_HAS_CLOSED) BarColor = 0; // Red |
