A Slope Colored Higher Time Frame SMA Ploted on a Smaller Time Frame Chart

[jmca2000]

I want to Plot A Slope dependent Colored Higher Time Frame SMA Ploted on a Smaller Time Frame Chart (Ex. 13 SMA from 8 Range Chart on a 4R Chart).

The Problem I think I'm having is when the Slope Changes from one to another (Rising or Falling) there is a Gap between the colors (See Picture Attached).

Following is the Code (In next Post) I used and I'm not sure how to correct the logic to Plot what the Last state of the Slope Color was in the blank Gaps before the Slope Color changes?

Thank You in Advance...

[CODE]
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
if (CurrentBars[0] <= BarsRequired || CurrentBars[1] <= BarsRequired)
return;

//Rising Slope
if(BarsArray[1][1] < BarsArray[1][0])
{
PlotSMA1.Set(LinReg(BarsArray[1],sMA1)[0]);
}
//Falling Slope
if(BarsArray[1][1] > BarsArray[1][0])
{
PlotSMA2.Set(LinReg(BarsArray[1],sMA2)[0]);
}
//Flat Slope and previous Slope was Rising
if(BarsArray[1][1] == BarsArray[1][0] && BarsArray[1][2] < BarsArray[1][1])
{
PlotSMA1.Set(LinReg(BarsArray[1],sMA1)[0]);
}
//Flat Slope and previous Slope was Falling
if(BarsArray[1][1] == BarsArray[1][0] && BarsArray[1][2] > BarsArray[1][1])
{
PlotSMA2.Set(SMA(BarsArray[1],sMA2)[0]);
}[CODE]

jmca2000,

Thank you for your post.

What is occurring here is that there are certain bars that are not hitting the conditions to set the plot dataseries.

I can changed around the code to have it all one plot and set the values for that bar specifically.

You can add in the conditions to change the color of the plot per your conditions using PlotColors[]

if (CurrentBars[0] <= BarsRequired || CurrentBars[1] <= BarsRequired)
			return;

			//Rising Slope
			if(BarsArray[1][1] < BarsArray[1][0])
			{
				PlotSMA1.Set(LinReg(BarsArray[1],sMA1)[0]);
			}
			//Falling Slope
			else if(BarsArray[1][1] > BarsArray[1][0])
			{
				PlotSMA1.Set(LinReg(BarsArray[1],sMA2)[0]);
			}
			//Flat Slope and previous Slope was Rising
			else if(BarsArray[1][1] == BarsArray[1][0] && BarsArray[1][2] < BarsArray[1][1])
			{
				PlotSMA1.Set(LinReg(BarsArray[1],sMA1)[0]);
			}
			//Flat Slope and previous Slope was Falling
			else if(BarsArray[1][1] == BarsArray[1][0] && BarsArray[1][2] > BarsArray[1][1])
			{
				PlotSMA1.Set(SMA(BarsArray[1],sMA2)[0]);
			}
