Thomas changed techniques on you, plotting
an area background instead of using the new function, which works of
course.
Another problem in your original formula:
Color = IIf(winterblock(),
SetChartBkColor(colorYellow), colorRed);
Should be:
Color = IIf(winterblock(),
SetChartBkColor(colorYellow), SetChartBkColor(colorRed));

Background Color Question
Hi Axle,
you have used AND for every month instead
OR.
However it seems that setchartbackground
doesn’t work on bar by bar basis.
I have changed the code, see below.
function winterblock()
{
Winter = Month() == 1 OR
Month() == 2 OR
Month() == 3 OR
Month()
== 11 OR
Month() == 12;
return Winter;
}
Plot(1,"",IIf(winterblock(),colorYellow,colorRed),styleArea|styleOwnScale|styleNoTitle|styleNoLabel,0,1);
Regards

function winterblock()
{
Winter = Month()

Color = IIf(winterblock(),
SetChartBkColor(colorYellow), colorRed);
