Thomas,
I tried it. You are correct. Apparently SetChartBackColor requires a numeric and the function delivers an array (I do get an error to that effect). That's what I get for "assuming" J
Thanks for clarifying! -- Terry -----Original Message-----
Hello Terry,
try it out, it doesn’t work with Setchartbkcolor. It gives no error but it plots the same background over the whole period.

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));

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

Thomas,
Thanks for the suggestion but I am definitely doing something wrong since the whoile background colors yellow for me in the beow code. ANy suggestions appreciated.
function winterblock() { Winter = Month() == 1 AND Month() == 2 AND Month() == 3 AND Month() == 11 AND Month() == 12; return Winter; }
Color = IIf(winterblock(), SetChartBkColor(colorYellow), colorRed);
