color moving average

[mattd]

i would like to alter the color of the 20sma based on the close of the candlestick. for example, the obvious is close above 20 ma, color 20 ma green.
i would also like to use different parameters for the trin: close below 20 ma and below 1, turn 20 ma green.

This requires the setBarFgColor() function.

setBarFgColor(Color.green);

You need to create conditions that change the bar FG color in your efs.

if (MA1.getValue(0) > close()) {
setBarFgColor(Color.red);
}

I hope this helps. If you don't understand programming or basics, then please ask for more help.

after reading it, i'm not sure what you posted will change the color of the 20 ma line vs. the candle bars. ?
its the ma line color within a candlestick chart i'd like to change.
please correct me, if i misunderstand.
thank you again.

Hi Matt,

I've authored a colored moving average script that is user definable in terms of the denoting colors and trigger degrees. It is quite a useful tool to keep traders on the "right side" of the trade.

Let me know if you'd like to try it out by emailing to:
