One line in different colors
Hi guys,
i want to draw an indicator like SMA but the color should be variable. For example if the SMA is rising than it's color should be green. If the SMA is falling then it's color should be red.
I can't find a solution for that.
Can anyone explain me, why there are empty spaces in the indicator line in the bottom window?

have u found solution to line gap problems as mention above by Raptor?
Ok u r rite..but what shld b the code?..if now is red and previous is yellow,then yellow equals red??..whereas previous is a gap~..what will b the line color at the gaps?
guyz..it is also noticed in the above chart that there are gaps even when line doesnt changes color? ..what is happening here..
i m also trying to code threecolor indicator and found this post partially helpful bt i suspect somethin is still missing
