  Hi Nicolas,

  Love the site.

  I am using 10.2

  I wondered if it is possible to:

  a, change the colour of an indicator line if certain conditions occur?

  b, I have set up that work in multiple time frames, is there any way to code one timeframe result into another timeframe?(I.E the result of a 1664 tick chart into a 39 tick chart)

  Many thanks,

   

  Bert

  To change the line colour, you can defined a new variable named “mycolor” (for example).

  Test if a bullish condition occurred, if true then set “mycolor” to 1 , if it’s a bearish condition set it to -1:

  if bullish then mycolor = 1 elsif bearish then mycolor = -1 endif

  1 2 3 4 5

  if bullish then mycolor = 1 elsif bearish then mycolor = -1 endif

  Let’s say that the returned value of your indicator is called “myvalue”, then let’s write your return line like this:

  RETURN myvalue coloured by mycolor

  1	RETURN myvalue coloured by mycolor

  Then, just set the appropriate colours you’d like to bearish/bullish condition in the indicator’s parameters window (screenshot attached).

  That’s all! Let us know if everything’s doing well 🙂
