Moved thread to proper location
Good morning/afternoon/evening fellow members,
I'm having a bit of trouble with a script.
So what it's supposed to do is:
When there is a uptrend all candles above the 8 EMA should be green
When there is a downtrend all candles below the 21 EMA should be red
When price action is in between the 8/21 EMA candles should be yellow
For some reason I'm getting white and yellow and the signals are coming when the EMA's cross, rather than the price action falling into the EMA's. Any help would be greatly appreciated, the script is posted below.
NOTE: In regards to the yellow and white, there is a line near the bottom of the code else if color.white
But, when I try to remove it, I get syntax error at the first if.
input price = close ;
input length = 11;
def EMA8 = ExpAverage (close, 8);
def EMA13 = ExpAverage (close, 13);
def EMA21 = ExpAverage (close, 21);
def EMArange = (price[1] between EMA8 and EMA21) or (price[1] between ema21 and ema8);
def buy = ema8 > ema13 and ema13 > ema21 and low > ema8;
def stopbuy = ema8 <= ema13;
def buynow =!buy[1] and buy;
def buysignal = compoundvalue (1, if buynow and !stopbuy then 1 else if buysignal[1]==1 and stopbuy then 0 else buysignal [1],0);
def buy_signal = buysignal[1] == 0 and buysignal ==1;
def sell = ema8 < ema13 and ema13 < ema21 and high < ema8;
def stopsell = ema8 >= ema13;
def sellnow = !sell[1] and sell;
def sellsignal = compoundvalue (1, if sellnow and !stopsell then 1 else if sellsignal[1]==1 and stopsell then 0 else sellsignal [1],0);
def sell_signal = sellsignal[1] == 0 and sellsignal;
AssignPriceColor
(if sell_signal or (sellsignal && !emarange) then Color.red
else if buy_signal or( buysignal && !emarange ) then Color.green
else if EmArange then color.yellow
else Color.white);
AddOrder(OrderType.BUY_AUTO, buy_signal, close[-1], 100, Color.YELLOW, Color.YELLOW, "buy");
AddOrder(OrderType.SELL_AUTO, sell_signal, close[-1], 100, Color.RED, Color.RED, "sell")
