MultiCharts: Trading Software for Automated Trading and Backtesting

Hi, I was hoping to set each Chart's Background color with powerLang based on possible activity. If there is an open order, background is black, else it is gray. From what I have seen and read, there is no support for this.

My issue is, I have 20 charts in a workspace and when they are "arranged" they all look the same, but out of those 20 I might only have 6 charts that will be active for the day. Those are the ones I want to stand out.

What can I do in powerLang that will allow charts to stand out? I do have floating text with order info, but that really isn't making the charts stand out when they are arranged.

Thanks. Gordon

I don't think that this could be coded. You could always do a chat session with MC to confirm

You could post a request on Project management about that and ask the community to vote for.

Hello Gordon,

Unfortunately there is no way to change the chart's background color from the code. You can do indicator plots or place drawings on a chart in order to differentiate between them.

Hi Henry-

But when All the charts are arranged ("Window" ->"Arrange All") All I can really see is the background and the status line. Can I change the status line fore color via code?

Thanks. Gordon
