Draw a line at midpoint of candle

FYI - my coding skills are not that good but learning...

Looking to draw a line at the midpoint of each candle on the chart. If the midpoint of the current candle is above the midpoint of the previous candle - then draw a green line for the current candle midpoint. If the midpoint of the current candle is below the midpoint of the previous candle then draw a brown line (at the midpoint of current candle).

Thank you in advance.

This has an input option candletype to chose candle or heikinashi candles.

Ruby:
input candletype = {default candle, heikinashi};
def HAclose      =  ohlc4;
rec HAopen       = CompoundValue( 1, ( HAopen[1] + HAclose[1] ) / 2, HAclose );
def HAhigh       = Max( high, Max( HAopen, HAclose ) );
def HAlow...
