Painting bars based on condition question

[ericadam]

Hello,

What would the code be for the following condition?

If the MACD Histogram value is above the 0 line, and the MACD is above the 0 line then color price bars green. And the same for the inverse - color bars red.

If you need reference, please see the following video around time: 3:45. Thanks.

Would also like to know the code to get the Average Daily RANGE to print on the chart. See video at around 6:00 for the logic. Very simple.

Bump.. anyone?

if (MACD(12,26,9).Diff[0] > 0 && MACD(12,26,9)[0] > 0)
      BarColor = Color.Green;
else if (MACD(12,26,9).Diff[0] < 0 && MACD(12,26,9)[0] < 0)
      BarColor = Color.Red;

For Average Daily Range. You need to create a custom indicator. You would create a DataSeries and then store the calculation of CurrentDayOHL().CurrentHigh[0] - CurrentDayOHL.CurrentLow[0]. After you have this DataSeries, say we call it DailyRange, then we would go and run an SMA on it.

SMA(DailyRange, 7)[0];

HUGE, thank you so much

Is there anyway to print just the value of the avg daily range, 7 in the charts versus a plot

[NinjaTrader_JoshP]

Sure. Just create the custom indicator and instead of doing something like Plot0.Set(SMA(DailyRange, 7)[0]);

Just don't set a value to Plot0 and use DrawTextFixed() to write out the value of SMA(DailyRange, 7)[0].

How would I create the data series to store the calculation?
