Change Indicator Line Color(Repeated Question After 5 Years)

[Boob Wood]

this is a way to use MA in our code. but how can we change the style of line in the code?

I want two MOVING AVERAGE indicatror showed in page with two different color.

MA_Handle =iMA(NULL,PERIOD_M1,MA_Period,MA_Shift,MODE_SMA,PRICE_CLOSE);

something like this, with-ought using Chart Templates.

MA_Handle =iMA(NULL,PERIOD_M1,MA_Period,MA_Shift,MODE_SMA,PRICE_CLOSE,MA_Line_Color,MA_Line_Width);
                                                                      ?????????????,?????????????

What is a templet?

You get a handle to be able to access the MA values. Nothing is shown on the chart. You can't change line style/colour with the handle.

Sorry,  Chart Templates is correct.

Create another copy of the same indicator just with a different color and call them both.

Or copy the buffers and redraw them, you can use a different color for each candle.

Or create the indicator with 20 buffers that have the same data just a different color and only use the one with the desired color.

There are so many ways to accomplish something why do you say

I temporarily solved the problem.   

Copied MA.MQL5 into MA_RED.MQL5 And MA_BLUE.MQL5 I changed the color in the source of them and using handles using ICustom.

I know it is not a processional solution, but it solved my problem. 

Will be happy to see your solutions too. 

  MA_Blue_Handle  =iCustom(NULL,PERIOD_M1,"MA_Blue",MovingBluePeriod,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_CLOSE);
  MA_Red_Handle   =iCustom(NULL,PERIOD_M1,"Ma_Red" ,MovingRedPeriod ,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_CLOSE);

If you are to make a custom version, just add the colors as standard parameters and apply them to your buffers in the code.

Drop the property and call the function Custom Indicators → PlotIndexSetInteger → ENUM_PLOT_PROPERTY_INTEGER → PLOT_LINE_COLOR
