Hi, I'm using in my robot the Heiken Ashi Indicator and would like to determine the color (blue or red) of the current candlestick. How can I do that? Thanks

        protected override void OnBar()
        {
            // Put your core logic here
            var index = heiken.closeha.Count - 1;
            if (heiken.closeha[index] > heiken.openha[index])
                Print("green");
            else
                Print("red");
        }

I think that for the last bar it may not produce correct results. Notice in the screenshot how there is both colors in certain candles.

Thanks for help. I have one more question in this context. Within my Robot I'm using OnTick () method instead of onBar (). But I need some kind of bar-counter:
If a bar has the color blue in the next three bars and a further condition is given, then the robot should enter an order. How can I do that? Thanks

What do you mean next three bars? You mean if a bar has the color blue in the previous three bars? 

            for (int i = index; i > index - 3; i--)
            {
                if (heiken.closeha[index] > heiken.openha[index])
                    continue; //blue
                red = true;
                break;
            }
            
            if (!red && condition)
                ExecuteOrder(TradeType);
