MACD Histogram question

[FX989231]

Hello everybody

I was wondering how I can colour every n'th bar of the histogram after it become possitive or negative a different colour.

Say I want to colour every 5th bar after it crosses from negative to positive black and the same if it crosses from possitive to negative.

Any ideas or help will be appreciated.

I include my code for the histogram.

Hello Kobus,

This could be accomplished using two global variables. Declare them outside of main() and set their initial values to 0. Then add a BARSTATE_NEWBAR condition inside each of your onAction functions. Inside those conditions, increment the variable by one and reset the apposing counter variable to 0 so that when the histogram crosses back through the 0 line the count will start at 0 for the opposite side. Then add another condition in each onAction function that looks for the value of 5 before coloring the histogram.

var nUp = 0;
var nDn = 0;

function onAction1() {
    if (getBarState() == BARSTATE_NEWBAR) {
        nDn = 0;
        nUp++;
    }
    if (nUp == 5) setBarFgColor(Color.RGB(255,0,0));
}
 
   
function onAction2() {
    if (getBarState() == BARSTATE_NEWBAR) {
        nDn++;
        nUp = 0;
    }
    if (nDn == 5) setBarFgColor(Color.green);
}
