  Hi – am new here (and to coding)

  Does anyone know how (or if is even possible) to color a candle on a specific day-of-the week a particular color please?

  EG: want to make every FRIDAY turn a specific color regardless of whether it’s an up/down day

  Many thanks in advance, and good trading to you all !!

  Thanks

  D

  Run this indicator in the price chart.

  Changing the value of ‘opendayofweek’ sets the day, 0 – 6.

  Changing the RGB values sets the colour, 0-255.

  The indicator should overwrite the price candle’s with the day/colour chosen.

   

  // day if opendayofweek = 5 THEN // smtwtfs , 0 - 6 // colour r = 255 // r,g,b,a 0 - 255 g = 0 b = 255 a = 255 drawcandle(open,high,low,close)coloured(r,g,b,a)bordercolor(255,255,255,175) endif return

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13

  // day if opendayofweek = 5 THEN  // smtwtfs , 0 - 6   // colour r = 255                 // r,g,b,a   0 - 255 g = 0 b = 255 a = 255   drawcandle(open,high,low,close)coloured(r,g,b,a)bordercolor(255,255,255,175) endif   return

  Here you have an example:

  if DayOfWeek = 5 THEN DRAWCANDLE(open, high, low, close) coloured("fuchsia") ENDIF return

  1 2 3 4 5

  if DayOfWeek = 5 THEN DRAWCANDLE(open, high, low, close) coloured("fuchsia") ENDIF   return
