Hi.
1) It shall be very useful to have the capacity built into the Strategy Wizard, to change bar colours on certain Expressions/Activation Conditions being met.
Thanks.

I agree.
How can I manipulate this, found in many indicators?
"open:setColor(period, Up)"
For example to make it Up = 1 and Down = 0, that would make it possible to write strategies with them in Wizard easily
I am trying to do the following:
When ALL of chosen indicators paint a red candle at the same time, show it in custom color#1
When ALL of chosen indicators paint a green candle at the same time, show it in custom color#2
FX Strategy Wizard doesn't allow for such changes unless it was a simple question of 1 = up and 0 = down or similar.
I found a changed haiken ashi file made for wizard to highlight direction changes as 1's and 0's so it's possible to manipulate but I don't understand code enough to adapt it with other indicators such as fibo candles and any overlays that paint red/green
Is there any plans to update FX Strategy Wizard btw? It is very powerful even now but the last change was in 2012?

@Up
To be honest I have managed to achieve the desired result already. It is funny, right after I post for help I go on to try fix and learn about the problem and turns out I can do it. I have changed the following:
indicator:type(core.Oscillator);
from "Indicator"
And added
stream = instance:addStream("Line", core.Line, name .. ".line", "line", core.rgb(0, 0, 0), first)
in Prepare()
Then added
stream[period] = -1;
stream[period] = 1;
In Update()
And this solves my problem. The colors are visible in Wizard as "Line", with values 1 and -1. Now I can do the same for any indicator I need I hope.
