If you're looking to add a splash of color to your trading dashboard, the modified Days of the Week Indicator for MetaTrader 5 is just what you need! Each day of the week is highlighted in a unique color, making it easier to visualize your trading activity.
The key to this indicator lies in the DRAW_COLOR_HISTOGRAM style, which utilizes two buffers: a value buffer called HistogramBuffer and a color buffer named HistogramColors.

You can customize the colors in the line below:
//--- define 8 colors for coloring sections#property indicator_color1 clrCyan,clrRed,clrYellowGreen,clrBlue,clrYellow,clrNavy,clrGold,clrMediumSeaGreen
In this setup, the color clrCyan has an index of "0", clrRed is "1", and so forth.
You can manage the histogram colors by assigning a unique color index to each entry in the HistogramColors buffer:
switch(STime.day_of_week) { case 0: HistogramBuffer[i]=0; HistogramColors[i]=0; break; case 1: HistogramBuffer[i]=1; HistogramColors[i]=1; break; case 2: HistogramBuffer[i]=2; HistogramColors[i]=2; break; case 3: HistogramBuffer[i]=3; HistogramColors[i]=3; break; case 4: HistogramBuffer[i]=4; HistogramColors[i]=4; break; case 5: HistogramBuffer[i]=5; HistogramColors[i]=5; break; case 6: HistogramBuffer[i]=6; HistogramColors[i]=6; break; }
By using this indicator, you can easily see the trading patterns that correspond to specific days, helping you make informed decisions!
