SetPlotColor one bar late

December 6th, 2014, 11:08 AM

Hi,

I'm trying to code a simple CCI indicator. When the CCI is going up, colour should be green and red when the CCI is going down. With the code below, the indicator is changing colours one bar too late. Any ideas how to make it react on time?

Thanks.

Code

input: fast_length(6),raw_length(20),smooth_length(10),
	zone1(100),zone2(-100),zone3(0),
	upColour(Green), downColour(Red);

variables: slow(0), medium(0), fast(0), raw(0), smooth(0);

fast=cci(fast_length);
raw=cci(raw_length);
smooth=average(raw,smooth_length);

plot1(fast, "6");
plot2(smooth, "Smooth");
plot3(zone1, " ");
plot4(zone2, " ");
plot5(zone3, " ");


if (Plot1 > Plot1[1]) then 
SetPlotColor(1, upColour)
else if (Plot1 < Plot1[1]) then 
SetPlotColor(1, downColour);

Every time the indicator changes direction, the plot color lags one bar. Not all direction changes have been marked in the picture.

olobay,

this is the way SetPlotColor works. When the condition is detected it will color like that to the next plot value.
You can shift the coloring by one bar adding [1] to SetPlotColor.
