Hi, I have a unique situation I have not seen on forums. I'm using a 3 second chart that FatCat teaches to see micro structure. Most of the time in ES it doesn't move more than 2-3 ticks in this small time but sometimes it does and at certain areas can provide good trades such as after a big move down and later a 5 tick down move often END of move so I want to see this. Is there a way with color bar on alert condition to color the number bars areas? I don't want a candle because it doesn't completely cover the tick markets on numbers bars which tend to go up and down a few pixels MORE than the candle's do. For down bars I had to create multiple alerts to fill in each section and if I change scaling they will look messed up. Compare the red to green red looks so much better but sometimes price moves a lot and not every tick is filled using my method. Is there a drawing function that can cover up all numbers bars areas? I don't want to have to have 15+ sell alerts and 15+ buy alerts for something that really just needs a good drawing option to do it with just one. |

I changed the code to show the up bars green like I want with every tick covered. IF there is no other way to do this would having 15-20 of these on 3 second chart be much of a CPU usage? I guess I can set them all to color at end of the bar close. As you can see from chart so often at end of moves they can provide great areas to consider getting in and definitely OUT of trade if already in. They're either lack of bids/offers or a sweep of order book either way so often great trades and great timing tool I just want chart to look CLEAN and not be slow.

To start with, the Draw Style you are wanting to use is "Color Background at Price". Refer to the following: Chart Studies: Color Background At Price (ACSIL: DRAWSTYLE_COLOR_BACKGROUND_AT_PRICE) But, the difficulty is that there is not a study that will allow you to color all of the blocks that make up a bar, or at least there is not one that has a way to do it and color the bars different colors. For what it is worth, the "Volume at Price Threshold Alert V2" comes close to doing what you want, as you can set the "Comparison Method" to be "Total Volume" and the "Volume Threshold" to "1", so any price level that has any quantity will color. Then set the first subgraph to have the above draw style, and this will copy down to all the other markers. But, as we stated above, there is not a way to do this and have two different options, one for green and one for red. You might be able to do this with a Spreadsheet, but it will take a bit of programming to get it worked out. A Custom Study would be the most straightforward way to do this, if you are comfortable with it, or willing to pay for it.
