Rejection Block PaintBar
Rejection Block PaintBar adds an unmissable visual layer to your chart by coloring entire price bars when the close is inside an active rejection block zone. Green bars signal price is inside a bullish rejection demand zone — the wick area where institutions previously bought aggressively. Red bars signal price is inside a bearish rejection supply zone — the wick area where institutions previously sold aggressively. Bars outside all zones retain their normal candlestick colors.
- ●Green-colored bars appear when price closes inside a bullish rejection zone — potential long entry area at a level where institutions already demonstrated buying interest
- ●Red-colored bars appear when price closes inside a bearish rejection zone — potential short entry area at a level where institutions already demonstrated selling interest
- ●BullZoneColor and BearZoneColor inputs let you customize the highlight colors to match your chart theme
- ●Optional AlertOnZoneEntry fires an alert on the first bar entering a zone, so you can be notified even when not watching the chart
- ●Tracks entry state per zone — the alert fires only once per zone visit, not on every bar inside
- ●Bullish takes priority if price is simultaneously inside both a bullish and bearish rejection zone
The PaintBar is the fastest way to see rejection zone interaction on a busy chart. When you see green or red bars, you know price is inside the wick area of a prior institutional rejection without needing to check zone boundaries or read data.
All signals are guaranteed non-repainting. Once a bar is colored on close, the color will never change.

Who This Is For
Rejection Block PaintBar is designed as a visual confirmation layer that works on top of the chart indicator and ShowMe study. Use it when you want the fastest possible recognition of when price is interacting with institutional rejection zones.
Apply it to the same chart as the Rejection Block chart indicator. The zones show you where institutional wick rejections occurred, and the painted bars show you exactly which bars are inside those zones. Add the ShowMe study for quality metrics at the original rejection candles.
Particularly effective on 1-minute to 5-minute charts during active trading sessions when you need instant awareness across multiple chart windows. The color contrast between green/red zone bars and normal candlestick colors makes rejection zone interaction visible even in your peripheral vision.

Click the Browse button to open a file browser where you can locate your downloaded .ELD file.

Step 8: Configure settings (optional)
Right-click anywhere on the chart, go to Studies > Edit Studies..., select the indicator, and click the Inputs tab. Key inputs: BullZoneColor (default Green) and BearZoneColor (default Red) control the bar colors. AlertOnZoneEntry (default false) enables alerts on first zone entry. Detection settings (MinWickRatio, MinWickATR, MaxRejAge, MaxRejCount) control which zones are tracked.
Common Issues
I do not see any colored bars on my chart. The indicator is applied but nothing is painted.
The PaintBar only colors bars when the close is inside an active rejection zone. If no rejection zones exist near the current price, no bars will be painted. This is normal — the absence of colored bars means price is not inside any active rejection zone. Check the chart indicator to see where zones exist relative to current price. You can also lower MinWickRatio and MinWickATR to detect more rejections.
Can I change the zone colors to something other than green and red?
Yes. To change colors, right-click anywhere on the chart, go to Studies > Edit Studies..., select the indicator, click the Inputs tab, and change the BullZoneColor and BearZoneColor inputs. You can enter any TradeStation color name (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, White, etc.) or use RGB values for custom colors. Choose colors that contrast well with your chart's candlestick colors for maximum visibility.
How does this differ from the Order Blocks PaintBar?
The Order Blocks PaintBar colors bars inside order block zones (based on candle bodies before structure breaks). The Rejection Block PaintBar colors bars inside rejection zones (based on candle wicks with disproportionate wick-to-body ratios). They detect different institutional patterns. Use both together on the same chart for multi-concept confluence — when both PaintBars color the same bars, you have overlapping institutional interest at that level.
