Moving Average Breakout

Could someone edit this code so that the MA only changes colors when there are 2 consecutive green closes above and 2 consecutive red closes below.

plot myindicator=ExpAverage(close,20);
myindicator.SetDefaultColor(Color.White);
myindicator.AssignValueColor(if close>=myindicator then Color.Green else Color.Red);
myindicator.SetStyle(curve.LONG_DASH);
myindicator.SetPaintingStrategy(paintingstrategy.LINE_VS_SQUARES);
myindicator.SetLineWeight(5);
myindicator.setHiding(if close>open(period="DAY") then 0 else 1);

Perhaps there's a misunderstanding for image 1. The Low of the bar I don't believe should be part of the criteria. Just the Close of the bar. 2 consecutive green closes above the moving average. The moving average here was 3859.45 as you pointed out but the close of the bars were C: 3865.25 and C: 3866.25

Changed to 2 bar criteria as noted above.

Ruby: 
#1. If the day opens below the EMA Line = Red
#2. If day opens above EMA Line = Green
#3. If above and Green only 2 bar breakouts below to red are possible.
#4. If below and Red only 2 bar breakouts above to green are possible.
#5. Pictures show where these things do not happen
input length1 = 20;
input avg     = AverageType.EXPONENTIAL;
input price1  = close;

SleepyZ : Thanks for your help with this label count. I did as you suggested and added your script to mine. It does add a count to the label. But unfortunately the count is incorrect. At the time of my posting this reply, it is 8:40 pm CT. My chart is showing 20 cyan ribbon bars. But the count displayed in the label is 71. Hopefully there is just some minor adjustment to your script to be done. I still very much appreciate your help though.

As the use of [-1] causes the code to wait for the color after the current bar closes, this uses the color of the last closed bar for the current bar until it closes.

Please post the code to add to your script to create an audible alert with a message center alert that includes the stock symbol, current price, and "TREND CHANGE TO GREEN" or "TREND CHANGE TO RED". Thanks

As your original post referred to trend, the trend is for the whole day and therefore I did the count is for the entire day as cyan. How do you define the trend to limit the count?

I am using this MA ribbon study on a 10 min /ES chart, so the count would have to be for an intra-day chart rather than a daily chart. To answer your above question, I always use the AssignValueColor part of the script to determine the trend. And to determine my label count as well. I made two attempts to create this count script (lines 74 - 86), but both failed. The first script generated an incorrect count. The second script did not produce a count at all.

See if this is what you are looking to count.

I just limited it to the cyan color at this time. The input lookback set to 0 will find and count the cyan colored candles for the day, defined by the getday{} function.

The image shows the count. As [-1] is part of malinecolor logic the count will start at 0 even though it is a cyan candle and then will continue to count until the end where it will pick up the [-1] count even the color of the line may be the other color.

Is there a way to make a scanner that will scan for stocks that are above the 50 SMA but below the 9 weighted moving average? And also, is there a way to setup a watchlist to do the same?

Hi, thanks but I'm sorry that I wasn't clear. When the moving average changes color I get a message in the message center that states, "Trend Change to Green (or Red)" and then I have to look through the message, which includes the particulars about the chart and script, for the stock symbol that this message refers to. Instead, I would like the message in the message center to read for example, "AAPL Trend Change to Green" or "AAPL Trend Change to Red", so the stock symbol appears before the trend change message. Thanks for your help.

Thanks so much! Looking through your code, I realized that you had already made the bubbles an option in your previous edition. Now you have the alerts lines "Trend Change to Green (Red)" listed twice in your latest edition. I removed the first pair as this latest edition includes making these alerts an option in the script setup. This has become my favorite indicator. Thanks again

SleepyZ: I'm now using a second one of these moving average lines on the same chart for confirmation of the trend and tried to change the colors using the Globals that are at the bottom of the script setup. They are set at white, cyan, and yellow but show up as red and green on the chart. Please make the Globals active so that I can change the colors to the ones I prefer so that I can distinguish the two lines. Thanks

SleepyZ: I toggled the "showbubble" to No but I can still see the red and green bubbles with the stock symbol on the charts.

Here is the code in post #14 with bubble set to NO and they are not appearing. The original code had the input showbubble, but it was not made part of the bubble code as in post #14.

Also, I changed the moving average to use the global colors. I did not change the red/green for the bubbles. Thanks for notifying me of duplicate of alerts.

Hey SleepyZ Im trying to get this to work but its not plotting. I'm trying to keep everything the exact same but I want to add a third condition after 2 consecutive bull closes Above MA or 2 Consecutive Bears closes Below MA Id like 1 more bull bar If above and prior conditions met to have a OHLC completely above the MA. That bar can come anytime after the prior sequence. If it doesn't happen then the line color doesn't change to its opposite trend. This applies to bear conditions as well. I put my code in bold so you can see how bad I am at doing this.

#1. If the day opens below the EMA Line = Red
#2. If day opens above EMA Line = Green
#3. If above and Green only 2 bar breakouts below to red are possible.
#4. If below and Red only 2 bar breakouts above to green are possible.
#5. Pictures show where these things do not happen
