Hi,

Is there a method/code to color the newly forming bar until completed?
i.e. color it in pink until its fully formed/completed before using including it in my analysis.

Any help/insight would be appreciated.

See http://codebase.mql4.com/search/Heiken


I appreciate your response, although it doesn't appear to address my question...
I have looked through the link you provided and found nothing that appears relevant.

I am after a method to color the realtime/forming candle in a different color until its fully formed to distinguish it from completed candles. Most charting software include this feature, and I wondered if this could be coded in MT4?

it is easy. You can draw histogram of any color over last bar.

Heiken Ashi is just 2-histograms indicator.

But you can't draw over a hollow candle this way. It becomes full.

I understand your wish now. It's impossible (coloring only one newly forming bar).
