How to remove MACD Histogram from EFS2?

[Pogman]

Hello

I would like to have the ability to remove the histogram from EFS 2 custom study. Here is the code that I have altered but it seems that the histogram has a "blue outline" which I can not remove.

Do I need to remove line 72 & 82 to only show the MACD and signal line without the histogram?

Also I can not seem to alter the bar thickness. Can someone suggest what I can do to change the thickness of the lines?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

To remove the Histogram replace the return statement with
return new Array (getSeries(xMACD),getSeries(xMACDSig));
As to the thickness the first parameter in the setDefaultBarThickness(4,8); command controls the thickness of the plot while the second parameter is the series index in the return statement (always beginning from 0 for the first item). As an example see the two setDefaultBarFgColor(color,series index) in the same efs where the first parameter defines the color and the second represents the series index of the return statement.

Hi Alex

Excellent! Thanks for the expert advice. I finally got it to work for me by correcting the last line of code as you suggested.

Hi,

Is "getSeries" a valid function, because I did not find it listed in Help/Docs?

Thank you,

It is a valid function and is listed in the updated Help file which is available here. You may want to join that group so as to receive notification when a new Help file is posted
