MACD fast line "changing direction" color candle

[bigminifridge]

Hey all, as the title describes, I am looking for a script statement to color a candle when the MACD line changes direction. Included is an example, I need a candle paint command at each of these arrows. Crossovers I have figured out but not this one. And not for strategy, I would like to modify the MACD indicator. Thanks!

Hello bigminifridge,

You can use IsRising() or IsFalling() to know if plot is rising or falling.

And set the PlotBrushes to set the color for the plot.

Below are links to two indicators in the User App Share that do something similar.

Thanks Chelsea, is there a way to only color the specific candle where the slope changes, like the MACROSSBUILDER you linked but without the vertical line shading? I'll take a look at that one too, see if I can reverse engineer it.

Hello bigminifridge,

You could use the slope to compare from 0 and 1 bars ago to 1 and 2 bars ago.

You could save IsRising to a Series<bool> and compare the current bar to 1 bar ago.

To color the chart bar set the BarBrush.
