Hello memonic,

Thank you for the post.

You may use something like the attached example to check which plot of the VolumeUpDown indicator has an actual value. The color is determined by which the plot gets reset so check for the one that has a value.

Please let me know if I can assist further.

Hello, i have a nearly similar question, i am trying to creat a strategy using the startegy builder that will use an indicater called ZI8SupperiaPowerTrend01. This indicator will appear in the background of the chart (behinf the cnadle sticks) and it turns green whenever there is a bullish pattern and red when its bearish. What i am trying to do it create a strategy that will make me enter long whenever the indicator turn green and take profit when ever the indicator turn red and vice versa with the short. Any help with that would be much appreciated
please see picsture to see exactly what i am talking about. Thank you.

Hello Mahmad1323,

Does the indicator have Plots? If the indicator is only coloring the chart that is not something which the strategy can detect, it needs to have a plot that exposes some form of data or signal to be used.
