depends if you want to change the default candle chart colors, or if you want to overlay new candles
 
@Conor Mcnamara #: depends if you want to change the default candle chart colors, or if you want to overlay new candles

That is incorrect. You cannot programmatically change the colour of individual default candles. You can only "overlay" custom candles.

You can however change the global colours of ALL the default candles, but that is not what the OP is requesting.

oh yes, apologies

@OP I think it's wise to use the article section https://www.mql5.com/en/articles/7815

People went to the trouble of writing these articles, you may as well go through them, and there is a lot of good content there

In this article I will address the possibilities of creating customized indicators with candlesticks, pointing out their advantages and disadvantages.
 
You can also look at the hekin ashi indicator's code.
 

Hi

I agree with William Roeder – it’s a good solution to work on some available code which is working correctly and change them to your idea.

This way you can simply change conditions to detect super trend values and color candles just like the heiken ashi is working.

Have a nice day👍📊
