Changing colour of an indicator line.

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

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
```
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
```
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 🙂
