HMA bi coloured – how to do it

mastro · 2017-03-15T21:28:01+00:00

Hi guys, sorry to bother you again, but as I said in my previous topic (that was the very first one), I am an absolute beginner …. I am currently using the Hull Moving Average indicator that I coded after the code which is available in the prorealcode library. The code is like this Period=20 inner = 2*weightedaverage[ round( Period/2 ) ](close)-weightedaverage[Period](close) HMA=weightedaverage[ round( sqrt(Period) ) ]( inner ) return HMA COLOURED(255,255,255) as "Hull Moving Average" as you can see, the line will be visible in the screen as a “white line”, regardless its own trend .. It would he nice and helpful if the line could be colored in green, when the HMA is indicating a trend up, while colored in red when indicating a trend down. Can you plese help me showing me how to modify the script so that the line shows up green or red according to the trend going on ? Thanks again for your help ! Bye

Hoops … it seems I have made a mess when formatting the topic ….Sorry.
However I think you can tell the question out of the code :-)))

Firstly, remove the coloured function in the code:
```
return HMA as "Hull Moving Average"
```
Then you only need to change the color of the HMA according to its slope (up/down), in the indicator parameters window (attached screenshot).
