Is it possible to color the candles in program?

[Ming Luo]

Hi:

 

Is it possible to color the candles in program? for example, if the candle close is above 20 Moving Average, I want to color the filled bull bar in blue and bear bar in a blank blue bar. If the price is above 20 MA, color it into a filled red bar for a bear bar and blank red bar for a bull bar. 

 

I see how Heiken Ashi does it but it's not quite what I wanted. 

 

Any ideas please?

 

Thanks

Raghee Horner's Grab indicator does exactly that. Three colors above MA, Below MA, crossing.

thanks. The indicator is very good. However, it seems just a histogram overlap the candle. Is it possible to program the candle color directly?

What function do you think exists, to color individual candles, in mt4? Alphabetic Index of MQL4 Functions (600+) - MQL4 forum
