Please see the attached image. There is a Difference - Single Line study being displayed on this ES chart as the main price graph. There is a MACD below which is based on the Difference study. The MACD is ID3. What I want: The line is colored pink when the MACD (ID3.SG1) is below its signal line (ID3.SG2) and above the zero line (ID3.SG4) OR when the MACD (ID3.SG1) is above its signal line (ID3.SG2) and below the zero line (ID3.SG4). Here is the forumla I am using: =OR(AND(ID3.SG1<ID3.SG2,ID3.SG1>ID3.SG4), AND(ID3.SG1>ID3.SG2,ID3.SG1<ID3.SG4)) You'll notice the image has little pink blocks on it, like points. So, I think my code is working, but how do I make it so the line is actually colored pink, rather that just the pink blocks? |

It appears that your formula is correct, but that this is a draw style limitation. It looks like the Draw Style is set to Left Hash. However, If you set the Draw Style to Line, it won't give you what you want either. The Color Bar study cannot draw an intermittent line because the Line draw style draws a connecting line from the last TRUE to the new TRUE. The best you can do is to use Point or Dash or any non-connecting Draw Style. |

I was afraid you'd say that. Thank you Tom.

However, If you set the Draw Style to Line, it won't give you what you want either. The Color Bar study cannot draw an intermittent line because the Line draw style draws a connecting line from the last TRUE to the new TRUE. During our webinar, we encountered this very same issue when we set the Draw Style to Line. I recognize that and corrected it by using Line - Skip Zeros.

The updated documentation is here: http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?l=doc/doc_TechnicalStudiesReference.html#s252 This is the section that was updated: Set the Draw Style of the Color Bar Subgraph to be the same as the Subgraph of the other study you are coloring. In the case where you are coloring a study Line, it is recommended to use the Line-Skip Zeros Draw Style. Otherwise, the appearance of the line will not be correct.
