I have some code that colors bars based on a custom condition, and it does it right on bars only. Couldn't find a way to change candles colors individually because of their bodies.

i still don't get it, y u need to know, just change it 2 bars, end of story

   int hTerminal = GetAncestor(WindowHandle(Symbol(), Period()), 2);
   PostMessageA(hTerminal, WM_COMMAND, 33018, 0); //Bar Chart
   //PostMessageA(hTerminal, WM_COMMAND, 33019, 0); //Candlesticks Chart
   //PostMessageA(hTerminal, WM_COMMAND, 33022, 0); // Line Chart

ho, & don't forget 2 import & define necessary things

#import "user32.dll"
   int GetAncestor(int hWnd, int gaFlags);
   int PostMessageA(int hWnd, int Msg, int wParam, int lParam);
#import

#define WM_COMMAND   0x0111
