Get MA indicator line color

  Hi there,

  I’m trying to write script where it checks if the MA line color changes from one bar to the next. Is there a property or method to get the color of the MA line e.g. green for bullish and red for bearish?

  Thanks for any help!

  There you go:

  MA = average[20,0](close) BullMA = MA > MA[1] BearMA = MA < MA[1] MAchange = (BullMA and BearMA[1]) or (BullMA[1] and BearMA)

  1 2 3 4

  MA = average[20,0](close) BullMA = MA > MA[1] BearMA = MA < MA[1] MAchange = (BullMA and BearMA[1]) or (BullMA[1] and BearMA)

  lines 2 and 3 retain the trend of the MA, while line 4 returns any change in direction (colour).

  Thank you @robertogozzi!

  Something I don’t understand as I am new to this scriping language (though I have experience with JavaScript and C#)

  BearMA[1]

  1

  BearMA[1]

  Shouldn’t the above contain only a true or false value? How can you use it like an array?

  MySma = average[20,0](close) Rising = MySma > MySma[1] AND MySma[1] < MySma[2] Falling = MySma < MySma[1] AND MySma[1] > MySma[2] if rising then r = 0 g = 255 elsif falling then r = 255 g = 0 endif return mysma coloured(r,g,0)

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13

  MySma   = average[20,0](close) Rising  = MySma > MySma[1] AND MySma[1] < MySma[2] Falling = MySma < MySma[1] AND MySma[1] > MySma[2] if rising then r = 0 g = 255 elsif falling then r = 255 g = 0 endif return mysma coloured(r,g,0)
