Beyond the Hull with Leavitt

I came across this code on this site and was wondering if a scan could be written to identify when the indicator changes color from red to green or visa versa within 1 Bar. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

## orig n was 20

script LeavittProjection{

@solaris We don't code to look for colors, we code logic and then color the results... The code you posted uses Red, White, and Blue, not Green and Red... Regardless, you can always code to trigger scan results based on the logic that changes colors... So, in the end, the answer is, Yes, you can adapt the code for a scan...

@solaris I recently created what I call the LCMA (Leavitt Convolution Moving Average)...It is a close cousin to @mashume's most excellent
Hull Moving Average Turning Points and Concavity (2nd Derivatives)...In this case, the Leavitt Convolution code was plugged into the framework of the @mashume's Hull Moving Average:

script LeavittProjection{
    input y = close;
    input n = 8; #20
    rec x = x[1] + 1;
    def a = (n * sum(x * y, n) - sum(x, n) * sum(y, n) ) / ( n *sum(Sqr(x), n) - Sqr(sum(x, n)));
    def b = (sum(Sqr(x), n) * sum(y, n) - sum(x, n) * sum(x *y, n) ) / ( n * sum(Sqr(x), n) - Sqr(sum(x, n)));
    plot LeavittProjection= a*x+ b;
}

script LeavittConvolution{
    input price = close;
    input n = 13;
    def intLength = Floor(Sqrt(n));
    plot LeavittConvolution = LeavittProjection (LeavittProjection (price, n), intLength);
}

def price = close;
input length = 55;
def intLength = Floor(Sqrt(length));
def lookback = 2;

plot LCMA = LeavittProjection (LeavittProjection (price, length), intLength);
LCMA.setStyle(Curve.FIRM); #(Curve.SHORT_DASH);
LCMA.setLineWeight(4);
LCMA.hideBubble();

def delta = LCMA[1] - LCMA[lookback + 1];

def delta_per_bar = delta / lookback;

def next_bar = LCMA[1] + delta_per_bar;

def concavity = if LCMA > next_bar then 1 else -1;

LCMA.AssignValueColor(color = if concavity[1] == -1 then
    if LCMA > LCMA[1] then Color.DARK_ORANGE else Color.RED else
    if LCMA < LCMA[1] then Color.DARK_GREEN else Color.GREEN);

plot LC_Max = if LCMA[-1] < LCMA and LCMA > LCMA[1] then LCMA else Double.NaN;
#LC_Max.SetDefaultColor(Color.MAGENTA);
LC_Max.SetDefaultColor(Color.WHITE);
LC_Max.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.SQUARES);

#LC_Max.Hide();

plot LC_Min = if LCMA[-1] > LCMA and LCMA < LCMA[1] then LCMA else Double.NaN;
#LC_Min.SetDefaultColor(Color.MAGENTA);
LC_Min.SetDefaultColor(Color.WHITE);

Try plugging the following into a Scan:

Code: 
script LeavittProjection{

    input y = close;
    input n = 8; #20
    rec x = x[1] + 1;
    def a = (n * sum(x * y, n) - sum(x, n) * sum(y, n) ) / ( n *sum(Sqr(x), n) - Sqr(sum(x, n)));
    def b = (sum(Sqr(x), n) * sum(y, n) - sum(x, n) * sum(x *y, n) ) / ( n * sum(Sqr(x), n) - Sqr(sum(x, n)));
    plot LeavittProjection= a*x+ b;

}


script LeavittConvolution{

    input price = close;
    input n = 13;
    def intLength = Floor(Sqrt(n));
    plot LeavittConvolution = LeavittProjection (LeavittProjection (price, n), intLength);

}

def price = close;

input length = 55;

def intLength = Floor(Sqrt(length));
def lookback = 2;

def LCMA = LeavittProjection (LeavittProjection (price, length), intLength);

def delta = LCMA[1] - LCMA[lookback + 1];
def delta_per_bar = delta / lookback;
def next_bar = LCMA[1] + delta_per_bar;
def concavity = if LCMA > next_bar then 1 else -1;
def LC_Max = if LCMA[-1] < LCMA and LCMA > LCMA[1] then LCMA else Double.NaN;
def LC_Min = if LCMA[-1] > LCMA and LCMA < LCMA[1] then LCMA else Double.NaN;
def turning_point = if concavity[1] != concavity then LCMA else Double.NaN;
def sell = if turning_point and concavity == -1 then high else Double.NaN;
def buy = if turning_point and concavity == 1 then low else Double.NaN;

def bullish = concavity[1] == 1 and LCMA > LCMA[1];
def bearish = concavity[1] == -1 and LCMA < LCMA[1];

plot bull = if bullish then LCMA else Double.NaN;
#plot bear = if bearish then LCMA else Double.NaN;

Hope this helps...

Good Luck and Good Trading :)
