I’m thinking do the test on each variable and if it passes then add it to an array, once all ten have been tested check to see if the array is empty or not and set backgroundcolor accordingly.

Would this work as no time to code it now.

Thanks

Thanks Nicolas, I’ve had a go but I’m clearly not creating the array properly.

I want the indicator to check the condition for each bar and change the background colour accordingly.

I’d be grateful if you could tell me what I’m doing wrong. Thanks.

// create user controlled options
bol10enabeled = 1 //boolean
bol20enabeled = 1 // boolean

// value to for bollups variables to be tested against
testvalue = 12620

// if enabled by booleans above then create variables
if bol10enabeled = 1 then
bollU10 = BollingerUp[10](close)
endif

if bol20enabeled then
bollU20 = BollingerUp[20](close)
endif

// check if the variables are enabled and test value for current bar against testvalue and add to array only if criteria =met
// the actual value in this case is irrelevant because I want to then check if the array is empty or not and change the background accordingly

// currently the array seems to contain every value for the bollup10 and bollup20 because I’m not sure how to create the array correctly!
// I need it to check for the current bar only but also paint the bars in the past where the test has been passed.

if bol10enabeled = 1 and bollU10 < testvalue then
$bollups[lastset($bollups)+1] = bollU10
endif

if bol10enabeled = 1 and bollU20 < testvalue then
$bollups[lastset($bollups)+1] = bollU20
endif

// check to see if the array is empty and if not colour the background
if isset($bollups[0]) then
backgroundcolor("grey",20)
endif

// visually check the array
for j = 1 to lastset($lp)
mybollups = $bollups[j]
drawtext("#mybollups#",barindex+5,close) coloured("green")
next
