you need to describe a bit more on what you want to achieve.


p.s. paintbar is not difficult to do. I can help you with some examples if you want.

Hi Gary,

It is not quite clear what exactly you are trying to do. Could you please give us more details?

@Gary

Try this:

{Indikator: Paintbar Moving Average}

inputs: Price(Close), Length(8), Displace(0);
variables: avg(0);

avg = Average( Price, Length );

if Displace <= 0 then
begin
if Price >= avg then PlotPaintBar(H,L,O,C, "Price > avg",green )
else begin
if Price < avg then PlotPaintBar(H,L,O,C, "Price < avg",red )
end;
end;
