How Do You Change Background Color On EA?

Hi Folks,

I'm developing an EA and would like to change the background color of the chart based on the signal direction generated by my EA. For example...If Long make background pink, if Short make background light green. The idea is to be able to identify the signals direction at a glance.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Set a rectangle with the coordinates equal to the max price on chart, min price on chart, bars shown on window and 0.

Then set the flag for background to true.

Thanks Ronald, I'm kinda new to programming in MT4. Do have example code for this? Thx.

Guys,

Try this code

double top=WindowPriceMax();
double bottom=WindowPriceMin();
datetime left=Time[WindowFirstVisibleBar()];
int right_bound=WindowFirstVisibleBar()-WindowBarsPerChart();
if(right_bound<0) right_bound=0;
datetime right=Time[right_bound]+Period()*60;
//----
ObjectCreate("Padding_rect",OBJ_RECTANGLE,0,left,top,right,bottom);
ObjectSet("Padding_rect",OBJPROP_BACK,true);
ObjectSet("Padding_rect",OBJPROP_COLOR,MistyRose);
WindowRedraw();

Let me know if anything is unclear

Cheers
Dipen
