If / Then on Current CCI(20) - 03/26/21 17:17

Hi,

I'm trying to take different actions based on the current CCI(20).

Code

vars CCIs = series(CCI(20));
if(CCIs[0] >= 0.0){
plot("CCI", 150, SQUARE, GREEN);
}else{
plot("CCI", 150, SQUARE, RED);
}

But all of the squares are red, regardless of the CCI.

I tried this as well, with the same result:

Code

if(CCI(20) >= 0.0){

I'm expecting some of the squares to be red and some to be green, based on the CCI(20) at the time.

If I print out the value it looks like I expect, some above 0, some below:

Code

printf("\nCCI: %.4f", CCI(20));

I'm sure I'm just missing something simple...

Thanks!

Yes. Name the plots "CCIRED" and "CCIGREEN". Otherwise the red will be angry at the green when it has the same name.

Thanks! I knew the type (SQUARE, DOT, etc) couldn't be changed within a given plot name, but didn't realize that applied to the color as well.
