In Metatrader, is it possible to change the bar color properties based on the bar being above or below a moving average? Screen shot attached. Thanks in advance!

Yes, it is.

I have my candles change through 6 different colours based on conditions.

Look for an indicator called rsi chart bars or something very similar to that.

Then just change the rsi condition to your ema condition and you are done.

Thanks, I found that indicator in another forum and it's very cool, but not exactly what I'm looking for. I need to change the bar colors up and down - above and below the EMA.

RSI chart bars indicator attached.

all you had to do was change the rsi to an ema function.

see attached. It will color bars red/blue based on where it is wrt the ema.

Play with it for a while. Like I said I modded mine to have 4 colours plus the original background colours for a total of six colours.

flyer415 - is it possible to set a condition that bar only changes color once multiple bars (say 2 or 3) close above / below the EMA?

Can this be modified to colour a bar based on time? I would like the 8:00am and 14:30 bars a different colour. Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Flyer415 great posts - many thanks.
I tried the example it's very good.
How could I change the color of the EMA line/curve rather than the candles ?
