TradeForexFx:
provide a background color for each pair (button) according to the relevant condition.
you want to colourise all button ?
If a pair meets the direction requirement based on the cross, that pair will be colored accordingly. Pairs with no direction according to the MA cross will remain the initial color.
direction requirement ?

There was a exe file posted by you (Samuel), along with a photo. Also the relevant source code, which was more elaborate.
I had responded with the fact that the indicator was not working properly along with a jpg file. Dont see any more of these posts, wonder what is going on.
Anyways, will appreciate if the indicator is posted in a complete working form. I want it to be monitoring all the forex pairs simultaneously, with signals coming in the form of red/blue colors.
Thanks

Hello all,
I have this indicator which works well for changing chart symbols.
I want to use the indicator for monitoring various pairs by a change of colors of the relevant button.
I want to introduce a code which will cycle through the list of pairs and provide a background color for each pair (button) according to the relevant condition.
In the uploaded indicator, I have the following code:
int start() {
setSymbolButtonSignalColor(); // to set button background color based on signal
return(0);
void setSymbolButtonSignalColor() will therefore have the relevant code. Again the uploaded indicator contains non working code (based on MA cross).
Appreciate if someone could have a look at the indicator and code the relevant section to get background colors for the various pairs (button) in the list according to the MA cross.
Thanks in advance.
