Is there a way to have the CPL configured so that the whole line turns Green when the next tick goes higher than the previous close , and red when the next tick goes lower than the previous close? If so, how? (auto-coloring doesn't seem to work)

You could do this with the Spreadsheet Study study, if you didn't mind that the line is only 10 bars into the past.

@tomgilb: I've added the Spreadsheet Study study, please advise as to how to get it to work.

I'll give you the formulas if you share the ID# of your CPL study.

Use these formulas on the spreadsheet:
Cell K3:
=IF(ID9.SG1@$3>E$4,ID9.SG1@$3,0)
Cell L3:
=IF(ID9.SG1@$3<E$4,ID9.SG1@$3,0)
Cell M3:
=IF(ID9.SG1@$3=E$4,ID9.SG1@$3,0)

Then go to the spreadsheet study settings:
-set the Number of Rows to 10.
-set the Draw Styles of K(SG1), L(SG2), M(SG3), and set colors for each.
(There is a third color for equal)

Then Hide the CPL study.

Nice Tom. How can I shorten that to 3 or 5 rows, instead of 10?

@tomgilb: Thank you, it is working fine.
But why is it not possible to extend the line to more than 10 rows?

The spreadsheet will not update on every uptick/downtick beyond 10 rows. This is done for performance reasons.

10 is the minimum Number of Rows setting, however, you can use these formulas to limit it to 5 rows:
Cell K3:
=IF(AND(ROW()<8,ID9.SG1@$3>E$4),ID9.SG1@$3,0)
Cell L3:
=IF(AND(ROW()<8,ID9.SG1@$3<E$4),ID9.SG1@$3,0)
Cell M3:
=IF(AND(ROW()<8,ID9.SG1@$3=E$4),ID9.SG1@$3,0)
