I'm trying to take an array of 28 pairs and color the text by each pairs assigned base color while it continually sorts, you can see where I made a sad attempt

I need this so I can see as the base pairs begin to group up, all of one color will begin to converge in one area of the sort, hope this makes sense.

This is what it looks like now, most of the code for this is not mine
This is what it looks like with my code added, pretty sad
There currently should be a full list of pairs with 4 different color combinations, eventually more color combos to cover the currency bases

Sorry having a hard time navigating this forum, above is what the state of the current code which makes for the sad indicator above.

if(mVal < -140) ObjectSet("m.Rect"+mBx, OBJPROP_COLOR, Red);
Supposed filter will always set color red if mVal< -140, since it is the last line it will always be red if mVal < -140.
it will override all previous <> lines and set to clr red, any value of mVal < -140 will turn out clr red.
it should be on top.

Hi Marco,
I checked it and that only affects the bars to the left of the symbol. I need to actually change the symbol colors.

If I use this I get the picture below but that is only 1 of 8 color groups, There should be a total of 56 pairs with 8 color group sorting with the data
I am wondering why exactly it is needed to use a two dimensional array style when one of the indexes is only 1 place "wide".
double mData1[7][1]; double mData2[7][1]; double mData3[7][1]; double mData4[7][1];
since arrays, by default, are already 1 dimensional, at least as far as I remember.

I was experimenting, anything to get it to work, i'll remove them.
It doesn't make any difference though, I'm just not doing something right or maybe its not possible, I've never seen it done...
Thanks
