MACD Up/Down Question

[laocoon]

Hello

I'm using the MACD Up/Down indicator (downloaded from this forum) and I'd like to include the indicator's output in a custom strategy.

To check whether the histogram is green or red, am I right in thinking that I need to check if
diffArr = DiffUp =>Green Hist
diffArr = DiffDown =>Red Hist

My code looks like this:

if (MACDUpDown(12, 26, 9).diffArr[0] = MACDUpDown(12, 26, 9).DiffUp[0])
...

but I got two error messages, one telling me that "diff" isn't defined and one saying that "diffArr" can't be accessed.

Could you kindly point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance.

laocoon,

You can only access things that have been exposed either as plots or as additional DataSeries/variables. Please see this reference sample: http://www.ninjatrader-support2.com/...ead.php?t=4991

If you are trying to access a plot, be sure you are accessing the actual plot's name as defined in the Properties region of the indicator.

Add functionality of coloring MACD and MACD EMA based on slope

I'm new to NinjaScript. I would like to color the MACD plot and the MACD EMA plot based on an upward or downward slope. I don't use the Histogram. Can you point me to some examples that could be applied to such a modification?

Thanks
