Coloring SMA indicator based on slope

[renoschmitt]

Hi,

I would like to color my 50SMA based on its slope. I found some sample indicators and am starting to get a sense of how the code works but i have not been able to successfully edit my SMA.

I tried the sample script i found on this forum but it draws a lower and higher SMA and not the actual line.

I would really appreciate if someone could provide me with a simple script that would draw a basic SMA and color the line based on the slope.

I have limited programming knowledge but i am working on improving. Thanks a lot for helping me in the meantime

reno,

I am glad you liked it. I am not sure if we will have more videos like that made anytime in the near future but it's at least a good way to get some idea where to start.

Actually, I forgot to add something :
