Hi guys,

i'm trying to color my candles as my HiLo Activator. But, i don't know why only red colors are being ploted and only the first bullish candle are painted. Can you guys help me about it? here's my code:

#Begin Code

input price = close;
input HiLolength = 9;
input length = 21; #apenas para cálculo
input length2 = 72;
input displace = 0;
input Averagetype = AverageType.EXPONENTIAL;
input PaintBars = yes;

def maHigh = Average(high, HiLolength);
def maLow = Average(low, HiLolength);
def state = {default init, short, long};
if (close > maHigh) {
state = state.long;
} else if (close < maLow) {
state = state.short;
} else {
state = state[1];
}


plot BuyStop = if state == state.short or state != state[1] then maHigh else Double.NaN;
plot SellStop = if state == state.long or state != state[1] then maLow else Double.NaN;

BuyStop.SetDefaultColor(GetColor(0));
SellStop.SetDefaultColor(GetColor(1));


def SMA = MovingAverage(AverageType, price[-displace], length);

AssignPriceColor(if PaintBars and price <= BuyStop

then Color.RED

else if PaintBars and price >= SellStop

then Color.GREEN

else Color.CURRENT);



plot AVG = MovingAverage(AverageType, price[-displace], length2);
AVG.AssignValueColor(Color.WHITE);
AVG.SetLineWeight(2);
AVG.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.DASHES);


#End Code

Substitute the following for the assignpricecolor code in your script and see if it is what you wanted.

Ruby:
AssignPriceColor(if !PaintBars
                 then Color.CURRENT else
                 if (state == state.short or state != state[1]) and close < maHigh
                 then Color.RED else
                 if (state == state.long  or state != state[1]) and close > maLow
                 then Color.GREEN
                 else Color.YELLOW);
