Hi,

Right click on the main pane, then click on "Edit Formula".

Under the "PlotCandleStick" function, type the following lines:

m = macd();
s = macdSignal(14);
UpdateColor(1, colorBlack);
UpdateColor(m > 0 and m > s, colorGreen);
UpdateColor(m < 0 and m < s, colorRed);

Best Answer

Here is the formula you should add to create up and down arrows:

PlotArrow(m > 0 and m > s and rsi(14) > 70, "", BelowLow, colorGreen);
PlotArrow(m < 0 and m < s and rsi(14) < 30, "", AboveHigh, colorRed);
