Thanks for the reply Wizard.

I had that version downloaded. Unless I'm missing something, it does not allow violation of bands bars to be a different color

It only allows the dots that are in violation of the band to change color.

At some time in the past, there was a version that the bars were the same color as the dots when the dots were outside the bands.

Hi @mannya,

I would like that one instead of the MACDBBLinesV4, but unfortunately it does not have BG color and I ask on nexusfi.com (formerly BMT) so many times to change simple indicators to put BG on it, that I'm now embarrassed to ask any more.

edit: also the average line is unicolor

Thanks very much, Michaelf.

As far as getting the BG color, I will just put the other version on the chart with BG coloring in the last panel and squeeze it down to take up minimal space.

Since 2 week I'm testing both MACDBB one over the other, so I have BG and paint bars. Maybe when NT8 is out I will ask for converting Fat Tails MACDBB and hope somebody can add BG and average paint as well.
But until then I will start next week trade with the combined version.
