Thank you,
I tried Color Bar Based on Alert Condition study, but I didnt find correct syntax of alert defining. Maybe I set up study wrong, bud It didnt work. My programing skills and logic math skills are equal to zero :-(
Any Advice?
Thank You.

Hi,
yes exactly! Color bar or mark it with square or whatever, after it reaches x ticks. For example I would like to color bar which is 10 or more ticks long (from open to close /only body of candle/). This number how much ticks should be changeable.
Thank you very much.

Hi

assuming putting formula on TF,so ticksize=0.1,and you'd paint bar if the distance of close from the open is greater or equal to 5 ticks

try: =ABS(O-C>=0.5).

=ABS(O-C>=5)

on settings tab did you set output not 1.0 but as user defined?

Thanks.

the problem is you don't show step by step what you did, saying 'still doesnt work' means nothing.

You can also do this:

=ABS(O-C>=TICKSIZE*5)
