  Hi there,

  I would like to code a moving average(10 SMA) but change the colour when it points up or down. is there a way to do it in the code so I do not have to do it manually?I did search for it but didn’t find anything.

  thanks in advance, 🙂

  A colour change is when the current candle is:

  • ascending and the previous one was descending;
  • descending and the previous one was ascending.

  Here is the code:

  MySma = average[20,0](close) Rising = MySma > MySma[1] AND MySma[1] < MySma[2] Falling = MySma < MySma[1] AND MySma[1] > MySma[2]

  1 2 3

  MySma   = average[20,0](close) Rising  = MySma > MySma[1] AND MySma[1] < MySma[2] Falling = MySma < MySma[1] AND MySma[1] > MySma[2]

  Okay, just struggling to make it work in the code. What do I have to return in the code to make the average appear on chart and still have two separate colours? I know it might be a dumb question, just not too great at coding. Usually to make the average a standard colour we return the average and also the colour, but more than that I’m struggling with.

  Just a way to do it (many other options to color based on conditions)

  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)

  Thank you.very simple and I just didn’t think of that. There isn’t maybe a way to do colourzones as well in a code?

  You can use the indicator’s properties (settings) to add colour zones.

  This is the code that mimicks the properties, but is not as good:

  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 IF close > MySma THEN OO = close HH = close LL = MySma CC = MySma DrawCandle(OO,HH,LL,CC) coloured(0,128,0,16) ELSIF close < MySma THEN OO = MySma HH = MySma LL = close CC = close DrawCandle(OO,HH,LL,CC) coloured(255,0,0,16) ENDIF return mysma coloured(r,g,0)

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24

  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 IF close > MySma THEN    OO = close    HH = close    LL = MySma    CC = MySma    DrawCandle(OO,HH,LL,CC) coloured(0,128,0,16) ELSIF close < MySma THEN    OO = MySma    HH = MySma    LL = close    CC = close    DrawCandle(OO,HH,LL,CC) coloured(255,0,0,16) ENDIF return mysma coloured(r,g,0)
