hi..i newbie for using thinkscript..im not a programmer who know coding etc...for last 3 years im trading only using thinkorswim, multi time frame , simple indicator EMA 8 - EMA 89....and TTM Squeeze....it works for me and im comfortable using this indicator...recently i am using bollingerbands and keltnerchannel...i`ve tried to combined bollingerband and keltnerchannel with EMA 8 - 89 indicator so i dont need to make new window for bollingerband and keltner channel...which candle change the color when bollingerband upper and lower band inside the keltnerchannel...the problem is...i only can make this color into one color blue for example...so i dont know the candle going up or down when bollingerband upper and lower band inside keltner channel...is it possible to make candle change the color based on price going up or down ??

this is the simple script

Quoting

plot MA8 = movAvgExponential(length=8);
MA8.SetDefaultColor(color.YELLOW);

plot MA21 = movAvgExponential(length=21);
MA21.SetDefaultColor(color.white);

plot MA34 = movAvgExponential(length=34);
MA34.SetDefaultColor(color.magenta);

plot MA55 = movAvgExponential(length=55);
MA55.SetDefaultColor(color.cyan);

plot MA89 = movAvgExponential(length=89);
MA89.SetDefaultColor(color.blue);

Addcloud(MA8, MA21, color.lime, color.magenta);

#Bollinger Squeeze
plot BBupper = BollingerBands().�Upperband� ;
plot KCupper = KeltnerChannels().�Upper_band� ;
plot BBlower = BollingerBands().�lowerband� ;
plot KClower = KeltnerChannels().�lower_band� ;

bbupper.Hide();
KCupper.Hide();
BBlower.Hide();
KClower.Hide();

bbupper.DefineColor("Sqz", Color.BLUE);
BBlower.DefineColor("sqz", Color.BLUE);

AssignPriceColor(if BBupper < KCupper then bbupper.Color("sqz") else Color.CURRENT);

AssignPriceColor(if BBlower > KClower then BBlower.Color("sqz") else Color.CURRENT);

appreciate anyone who can help with this script

Hello, I came across your script on this forum and was curious how you trade it in conjunction with the TTM Squeeze? Are you lining up a moving average crossover with the TTM as a separate indicator on the bottom and waiting for a cross when the squeeze(red to green dots) happens?

I wrote a short code to change the color of the candle that may help you in figuring out how to fix your problem. Not sure if this is what you are asking, but it seems that way on your last statement.

#color bars based on open
input paintbars = yes;
def up = close > open;
def dn = close < open;

DefineGlobalColor("Bullish", Color.GREEN);
DefineGlobalColor("Bearish", Color.RED);
AssignPriceColor(if up and paintbars then globalColor("Bullish") else if dn and paintbars then globalColor("Bearish") else color.current);
