Need help to color background price panel when condition = 0

[Ted608]

Hi,

I could not be able to figure out how to color the background price panel when the condition = 0.

I got a SyntaxError: "invalid assignment left-hand side" when I ran the statement below in an efs:

if(vMACD.getValue(MACDStudy.MACD) = 0 )
setBarBgColor(Color.yellow,0);


With the inequalities "< " or ">", I got the efs colors the background price panel ok but I would like to color it when the condition = 0.

Could someone pls give me some explaination why I got that SyntaxError and may be some guidance on how I would do it.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

The operator you are using in your conditional statement is an assignement operator ie = instead of a comparison operator ie ==
For more information on JavaScript operators see this article in the EFS KnowledgeBase

Seems to me you just need to double the equal sign "==" as opposed to "="

if (vMACD.getValue(MACDStudy.MACD) == 0 ) {
     setBarBgColor(Color.yellow,0);
     [... additional stmts];
} 

Try that.

Cheers,
