Thank you very much for your response/assistance. I have followed your suggestion, however , it's doing doing what I want. Below is the amended code following your suggestion, is there something I have done wrong?

continue;

double valL = MLow.Get(idx);
double valC = MClose.Get(idx);

double valO = MOpen.Get(idx); // add*************

int x = ChartControl.GetXByBarIdx(BarsArray[0], idx);
int y2 = ChartControl.GetYByValue(this, valH);

Firstly cory, thank you very much for taking time out to help with this. I have followed your suggestion above ( I did change the text 'Blue' to 'Green', to get green bars). It seems to work, except that for some reason, one of the bars still came out gray. I have attached an image below, as well as a copy of my code.

Firstly cory, thank you very much for taking time out to help with this. I have followed your suggestion above ( I did change the text 'Blue' to 'Green', to get green bars). It seems to work, except that for some reason, one of the bars still came out gray. I have attached an image below, as well as a copy of my code.

it comes from this line ;
......
else
m_barColor = Color.Gray;
.........


Note: Gray means Open = Close, if you don't like Gray just change it to any color you want.

I can't get this to work in NT7.

you need to down load ensign for that indicator first
1) import ensign zip
2) import flimbo zip
3) change your chart to HL type

File Type: zip FLIMBO_HLC.zip (13.6 KB, 56 views)
*******************************************
I downloaded both files and imported via File/Utilities/Import and rebooted.
The Flimbo_HLC shows up as an indicator however the cs file does not show as a Strategy or an indicator.

When I look for the .cs file:

It is located in the folder: NinjaTrader7/bin/custom
Should it be in the folder: NinjaTrader7/bin/custom/Strategy

It is named: NinjaScript.Ensign.02.04.09.cs.cs
Should it be named: NinjaScript.Ensign.02.04.09.cs
There is an additional file named: NinjaScript.Ensign.02.04.09.cs.dll

Thanks for your help.

I have written an add on for NinjaTrader 7 that adds a new High, Low, Close chart style.

You can emulate HLC bars with indicators, but this does not work properly with paint bar studies because such studies colour bars and not other indicators.

This new chart style adds a new bar type and that will work correctly with indicators that colour bars.

Link to download.
