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)
```
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]
```
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)
```
