I am trying to paint the bar color depending on the trend I specified,
my script is as following:

if trend = 1 then begin
	
	SetPlotColor(9, Blue);
	end;
	
if trend = -1  then begin
	
	SetPlotColor(9, red);
	end;
	
PlotPaintBar(O, H, L, C, 9, default);

I am getting a compile error on the last line statement (Plotpaintbar), Please advise what correct format I should use.

Please go to Wiki and look up the usage example of PlotPaintBar.

PlotPaintBar is the equivalent of:

Plot1(BarHigh);
Plot2(BarLow);
Plot3(BarOpen);
Plot4(BarClose);

Try this:

Code: Select all

PlotPaintBar(O, H, L, C, "OHLC", default);

if trend = 1 then 
begin
	SetPlotColor(1, Blue);
	SetPlotColor(2, Blue);	
	SetPlotColor(3, Blue);
	SetPlotColor(4, Blue);
end
else
// if trend = -1  then 
begin
	SetPlotColor(1, red);
	SetPlotColor(2, red);
	SetPlotColor(3, red);
	SetPlotColor(4, red);
end;
