Assigning indicator values

[ericadam]

Hello, I have the snippet of code where the following conditions paint the bar red or green:

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {
            // Use this method for calculating your indicator values. Assign a value to each
            // plot below by replacing 'Close[0]' with your own formula.
			
			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;
			
        }

Now, I plan on using the indicator in a strategy and was wondering how to set something like: if the bar is red, then value of the indicator == 0, and if the bar if green, then set the value of the indicator == 1 .. or something like this. I just want to be able to call out a 0, or 1 (for red or green bars) when building the strategy..thx

Create an indicator plot and set it to 0 or 1 depending on what you want. Please see the Help Guide tutorials on building custom indicators.
