How to modify the MACD indicator to paint the Bar color

[bibofeng]

Try to modify the MACD indicator and paint the macd bar color, when Diff > 0 paint to Green else Red.

Are there any similar sample indicator scripts?

Hello bibofeng,

Thanks for your post.

To create a copy of the MACD indicator to modify, open a New > NinjaScript Editor window, open the Indicators folder, and double-click on the MACD file. Right-click within the code of the MACD indicator, select 'Save as', name the copy of the file and click OK.

After making a copy of the indicator, you could modify that copy to suit your overall goals.

PlotBrushes[int PlotIndex][int barsAgo] would be used in a NinjaScript indicator to change the plot color to a specified color when a condition is true.

We do not have a reference sample in the help guide that demonstrates this specifically. That said, the code to add to the copy of the MACD script might look something like this:

if (Diff[0] > 0)
    PlotBrushes[2][0] = Brushes.Green;
else
    PlotBrushes[2][0] = Brushes.Red;​

Note that the code above would be placed outside of the if-else condition used to assign plots a value.

See this help guide page for more information about PlotBrushes and sample code: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...lotbrushes.htm
