Input candle color

[Amarante]

I currently have the following code in a script to hide the red candles so I focus on green up candles to get me out of trades sooner:

AssignPriceColor(if ColoredCandlesOn and (priceColor == 1) then Color.GREEN else if ColoredCandlesOn and (priceColor == -1) then Color.DARK_GRAY else Color.DARK_GRAY);

I would like to be able to select the color of the red candle from a group of three colors (Red, Blue, Dark_Gray) so that I can adjust the color of the candles in Settings on different time frames since my longer time frame charts don't require a quick response.

Thanks for your help.

here is an example that uses an input to pick a color.

note, the color names don't mean anything. all the colors could be replaced with x1, x2,x3,.. and it would work the same. it is the position number in the list that is returned, the nth parameter. that is used as a parameter for getcolor( ).

I included the following into the script:

input Color1_choice = {default "magenta", "cyan", "pink", "gray", "orange", "red", "green", "dark_gray", "yellow", "white"};

and replaced

AssignPriceColor(if ColoredCandlesOn and (priceColor == 1) then Color.GREEN else if ColoredCandlesOn and (priceColor == -1) then Color.DARK_GRAY else Color.DARK_GRAY);

with:

AssignPriceColor(if ColoredCandlesOn and (priceColor == 1) then Color.LIME else if ColoredCandlesOn and (priceColor == -1) then
GetColor(Color1_choice) else GetColor(Color1_choice);

but get an Invalid Statement.

Assuming the missing data (coloredcandleson and pricecolor) is also valid in your script, then your replacement is just missing a closing parenthesis ')'

AssignPriceColor(
if coloredcandleson and (pricecolor == 1) then Color.lime
else if coloredcandleson and (pricecolor == -1) then getcolor(Color1_choice)
else getcolor(Color1_choice));
