  Good morning,

  is there a possibility to get an Indicator as a histogram where several signals have different colours according to there value.

  Thanks in advance!

  Yes you need to make 3 different variables with their own color and value.

  Someone did something like this, not so long ago, this is called a “tape” indicator. You can find an example here:  http://www.prorealcode.com/prorealtime-indicators/3-linear-regression-tapes-indicator/

  Thank you very much Nicolas,

  unfortunately the command “coloured by” does not work properly for me. The indicator gets calculated but the different colours for positive or negative values are not working if there are more then one output variables (I am using v10.2).

  However here is a solution that works for me. Not nice but who cares 😉

  In this “dummy” example on the top level every second bar will be green every forth bar will be red and the rest will be black. On the bottom level every third bar will be green every sixth bar will be red and the rest will be black.

  // Set each output variable to be shown as histogram // Set the correct colour for each output variable (Lev1Black="black", Lev1Green="green"...) iBar=IntradayBarIndex Lev1Black=0 Lev1Green=0 Lev1Red=0 Level=5 if (ibar MOD 2 =0) and (ibar mod 4 <>0) then Lev1Green=Level elsif ibar MOD 4 =0 then Lev1Red=Level else Lev1Black=Level endif Lev2Black=0 Lev2Green=0 Lev2Red=0 Level=2.5 if (ibar MOD 3 =0) and (ibar mod 6 <>0) then Lev2Green=Level elsif ibar MOD 6 =0 then Lev2Red=Level else Lev2Black=Level endif return 0 as "Zero",Lev1Black as "Level-1 (black)",Lev1Green as "Level-1 (green)",Lev1Red as "Level-1 (red)",Lev2Black as "Level-2 (black)",Lev2Green as "Level-2 (green)",Lev2Red as "Level-2 (red)"

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27

  // Set each output variable to be shown as histogram // Set the correct colour for each output variable (Lev1Black="black", Lev1Green="green"...) iBar=IntradayBarIndex Lev1Black=0 Lev1Green=0 Lev1Red=0 Level=5 if (ibar MOD 2 =0) and (ibar mod 4 <>0) then Lev1Green=Level elsif  ibar MOD 4 =0 then Lev1Red=Level else Lev1Black=Level endif   Lev2Black=0 Lev2Green=0 Lev2Red=0 Level=2.5 if (ibar MOD 3 =0) and (ibar mod 6 <>0) then Lev2Green=Level elsif  ibar MOD 6 =0 then Lev2Red=Level else Lev2Black=Level endif return 0 as "Zero",Lev1Black  as "Level-1 (black)",Lev1Green as "Level-1 (green)",Lev1Red as "Level-1 (red)",Lev2Black  as "Level-2 (black)",Lev2Green as "Level-2 (green)",Lev2Red as "Level-2 (red)"
