Tutorial 209 demonstrates a way to replot the price bars and then use a slider bar to adjust their transparency.
The tutorial uses a form and a slider object. When the slider value changes an event occurs. The bar colors are modified to take into account the new transparency value.
The prices are then plotted with the following style settings:
- Open (Plot3): BarHigh (Paint as vertical line),
- Close (Plot4): BarLow,
- High(Plot5): BarHigh (Paint Bar’ wick and body) and
- Low(Plot6): BarLow.
The maximum bars study will reference setting in the general tab of the indicator is set to 1000. On the chart, the bars back is st to 2000. See the video to understand the setup.
Since the price bars are replotted, the transparency of the ACTUAL price bars is set to zero as in the following image:
