I'm wanting to create a filled hatch graph (with a black outline and zero line) where everything above zero is filled in green and everything below zero is filled in red. I figured out some code that worked perfectly.... except for where they meet in the middle. There is some sloppy overspray. Is there a better way to do what I want? And please, forgive my code. This is my third day with the product:

EXAMPLE IMAGE -------------------------

MY CODE -----------------------------------
// Pull Enhanced SRM Data (in beta - to be published) based upon a 50 period lookback
a = Srme(50);

// Plot the top half of the graph in a nice green hatched pattern (positive numbers)
Plot((a>0)*a, "Bulls Only", colorGreen|108, ChartLine, StyleWidth2);
SetHatchBrush("Percent20", colorWhite|255|colorMintCream|255|161);

// Plot the bottom half of the graph in a nice red hatched pattern (positive numbers)
Plot((a<0)*a, "Bears Only" , colorRed|108, ChartLine, StyleWidth2);
SetHatchBrush("Percent20", colorWhite|255|colorMintCream|255|161);

// Plot a solid black outline around the edge of the graph.
Plot(a, "SRME", colorBlack, ChartLine, StyleWidth3);

// Plot a black zero line to clearly divide the positive/negative boundary.
Plot (0, "", colorBlack, ChartLine, StyleWidth2);

Where it fails is when a number crosses the zero line, and I know that it's because I'm calling two different graph functions. But I haven't been able to find a way to create a bi-colored (and hatched) positive/negative graph. Hopefully there's some cool command I'm missing?
PS: Try this out on your own positive/negative indicator. It's an attractive plot, IMHO. It just needs a few touch-ups.

HELP? :)

Unfortunately, I do not see another way to do this as we do not have a built-in function for that.
Note this is happening because when the line drops below 0, instead of drawing say 2, -2 line, you are drawing 2, 0 line.

Trading financial instruments, including foreign exchange on margin, carries a high level of risk and is not suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest in financial instruments or foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with trading and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
