I'm struggling to learn this code.. Trying to convert my very simple watchlist script into a radar screen function of easy language. This is the code if anyone can help out maybe it will start to click after this I am hoping. Thanks in advance.
def isBull = dmiplus > dmiminus and dmiplus[1] <= dmiminus[1];
def isBear = dmiplus < dmiminus and dmiplus[1] >= dmiminus[1];
plot PlotBull = if isBull then 1 else if isBear then -1 else 0;
PlotBull.assignValueColor(if isBull then color.UPTICK else if isBear then color.DOWNTICK else CreateColor(237, 237, 237));
assignBackgroundColor(if isBull then color.UPTICK else if isBear then color.DOWNTICK else CreateColor(237, 237, 237));
Here's a simple indicator based on your tos code. I don't have experience with radarscreen so you might need to add a few function calls to change the cell colors, etc. If you really need it, I can try. Let me know.
Hope this helps,

The following 2 users say Thank You to cbritton for this post:
I think I am getting close.. It seems to work but what I was hoping for was only indicate for a current crossing otherwise the cell should be white.. Anyway this is what I have. I am struggling with if the cell isn't 1 or -1 I am wanting it to be white or black(just not setting a color if there is no cross). I hope this makes sense. Thanks again
Im looking for someone who knows how to code that could help me with this. I need this converted from thinkscript to easy language. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
