newby at efs needs help

[troller]

I am trying to write a color bar study that will change the colors depending on 2 conditions.
First,
if 10 ema > 30 wma and MACD 19, 39 > 9 ema of MACD 19,39; set PriceBarColor(color.lime)

second,
if 10 ema < 30 wma and MACD 19, 39 < 9 ema of MACD 19, 39; setPriceBarColor(color.red)

I know how to write it for tradestation, but efs escapes me so far.....thanks

Correct me if I am wrong, but isnt the 9ema of the macd the signal line?

vMACD19_39.getValue(MACDStudy.MACD) > vMACD19_39.getValue(MACDStudy.SIGNAL)

needs to be edited as shown above, change the LT sign to GT

Attached is an efs that should do what you want.

PS. If you also want the MACD based on EMA then change true to false in Line 12 of the formula

We need to get Dion to add

setColorPriceBars(true);

whent he PriceColorBars is invoked so dummies like me dont keep forgetting it.

Yes it was done using the Formula Wizard.
Attached is a zip file with two images one for each set of conditions.
As of now the Formula Wizard does not add one command that will make the efs work properly.
This command is
setColorPriceBars(true);
which needs to be added to the preMain() section using the Editor.
