  There you go:

  ST = Supertrend[3,10] Bullish = close > ST Bearish = close < ST Change = (Bullish AND Bearish[1]) OR (Bullish[1] AND Bearish)

  1 2 3 4

  ST      = Supertrend[3,10] Bullish = close > ST Bearish = close < ST Change  = (Bullish AND Bearish[1]) OR (Bullish[1] AND Bearish)

  The variable CHANGE will be true when there’s been a change in the colour. You can use either BULLISH or BEARISH to know whare it is sitting on the chart.

  It happens when the Close crosses over or crosses under:

  red = close crosses under supertrend[3,10] green = close crosses over supertrend[3,10]

  1 2	red = close crosses under supertrend[3,10] green = close crosses over supertrend[3,10]
