procedure TMyForm.cdLineGetSeriesPointDrawParameters(Sender: TdxChartCustomDiagram;
  AArgs: TdxChartGetSeriesPointDrawParametersEventArgs);
var
  ALineDrawParameters: TdxChartLineSeriesPointDrawParameters;
  ASeries: TdxChartCustomSeries;
  AIndex: Integer;
begin
  if AArgs.SeriesPoint.Series.Caption = 'Europe' then
  begin
    if AArgs.DrawParameters.ClassType <> TdxChartLineSeriesPointDrawParameters then Exit;
    ALineDrawParameters := AArgs.DrawParameters as TdxChartLineSeriesPointDrawParameters;
    AIndex := AArgs.SeriesPoint.Index;
    ASeries := AArgs.SeriesPoint.Series;
    if ((AIndex = 0) and (ASeries.Points.Values[AIndex] > ASeries.Points.Values[AIndex + 1])) or
       ((AIndex > 0) and (AIndex < ASeries.Points.Count - 1) and
       (ASeries.Points.Values[AIndex] > ASeries.Points.Values[AIndex + 1]) and
        (ASeries.Points.Values[AIndex] > ASeries.Points.Values[AIndex - 1])) then
    begin
      ALineDrawParameters.MarkerAppearance.FillOptions.Color := TdxAlphaColors.Red;
      ALineDrawParameters.Appearance.BeginUpdate;
      ALineDrawParameters.Appearance.StrokeOptions.Color := TdxAlphaColors.Red;
      ALineDrawParameters.Appearance.StrokeOptions.Style := TdxStrokeStyle.Solid;
      ALineDrawParameters.Appearance.EndUpdate;
    end;
  end;
end;
