Hi, Try this (it is a script) Once you find the settings that suit you you can change the defaults in the editor If you no longer want it on the chart, open the objects list and delete it {file}

This is an indicator and you can set the input "Use Auto Background color = true " which means it will automatically pick up the chart background colour or you have the option to set the input "Use Auto Background color = false " and use any colour you want. The chart candles must be set to the Background setting or they will appear on top of the Background. {file}

{quote} Hi GumRai, Appreciate the help. I'd like to incorporate this into my EA rather than run a script separately. With this in mind I have created a function using your code and have tried to call it from within OnInit() function with no luck. If I move it to within the section OnTick() it now works but it runs the function on each tick which uses unnecessary resources IMO. I had the idea to leave it there but place it in a loop which only runs once. Is this how you would tackle this problem or would you have a better approach?? Thanks in advance,...

{quote} I tried to do this but for some reason the white box just didn't seem to appear. I did find an alternative solution though. I created a function (as per your code) and then called it within the OnTick function. However I added a check to ensure that the code only gets called once. So far it seems to be working As always, Thanks for your advice..... its definitely helping with my knowledge....
