Multiple colours on single indicator line

   Take a simple indicator such as CCI(14) and plot it.

I'd like to set it so that when it's above 0 the line is green and when it's below 0 the line is red.

Is this possible?

Thanks,
ITT.

	Shall do a sample for you.

	Thanks Brendon, that would really be appreciated. Along similar lines possibly, I'd like the volume histogram to be blue on days when price closes up and red when price closes down. (...and maybe variations like C versus O, or today's H vs yest. H, but they are wish list rather than having an immediate use). My mind is a little addled today so I can't seem to work it out. Many thanks for your continued support, ITT. Edited by IT-Trader

	This is the closest we can can up with - needs to be Bar style to make it easier to read. [horzline=0] n := input("Time periods",14,1); [color=rgb(000,000,255);name=up; Linestyle=Bar] if(cci(n)>=0,cci(n),0); [color=rgb(255,000,000);name=down; Linestyle=Bar] if(cci(n)<=0,cci(n),0);

	Hi Brendon, That works exactly as hoped for the second question about volume and I think I can work a variant to make line indicators (like cci) suit the purpose I had in mind. Many thanks for the help again. ITT. btw, for anyone else the volume version looked like this.... [color=rgb(000,000,255);name=up; Linestyle=bar] if(C>O,V,0); [color=rgb(255,000,000);name=down; Linestyle=bar] if(C<O,V,0); I find it useful to distinguish between the volume on up-days vs down-days.

	IT-Trader, you can also try the Fill attribute. e.g. [linestyle=fill; color=green; transparency=50] cci(14); [color=red; transparency=50] 0 For the 2nd Q, I simply right click and change the color property of the volume panel to colour the volumes. I'm not sure if that's what you are after.

	Owen, The fill style is simply filling the the gap below/above the indicator, it was actually getting the indicator line itself to be green above a predertimed number and red below it. From Brendon's comments, it sounds like this isn't possible. It's far from being a big deal, I asked in case I'd missed something. (The CCI was only used as an example to keep it simple.) On the volume colour question, you have indeed misunderstood. Your suggestion would change all the volume days to be a single colour. The code I posted shows the volume in blue on days when the C is above the O, and in red on days when the C is below the O. However, there is one circumstance I forgot to cover, those when O=C, I've since added and extra line to plot volume in balck on those days. It may not appear overly helpful but it speeds up part of my selection process. ITT.

	IT-Trader, is this what you need?

	LOL - yeah that's it. You realise, of course, that all this is moot! Thanks anyway. ITT. (btw, do you think you could have made the chart a bit bigger!)

	ITT, See how I coloured the volume bars by changing the volume plot properties. I did not do any coding. You want the chart even bigger? You are kidding right?
