Plot 7 consecutive bars as histogram?

[ShinJ]

Can you help me to add a line to code, that will signal 7 consecutive closes on one side of the histogram and mark this 7th bar on chart?

Thank you

declare lower;
Input price = close;
Input Fast = 1;
Input Slow = 5;
def FastSMA = Average(Price, Fast);
def SlowSMA = Average(price, Slow);
plot ZeroLine = 0;
plot Diff = FastSMA - SlowSMA;
Diff.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HISTOGRAM);

Can you be more specific about your request? Seven red or green consecutive closes? What does it have to do with the moving average code you posted?

 

[ShinJ]

This code plots closes above or below 5 SMA, so I need somehow indicate 7 consecutive closes on both sides of moving average on histogram and also would be nice to indicate 7th candle itself on the chart

I see, here is a good starting place: https://usethinkscript.com/threads/consecutive-bar-count-indicator-for-thinkorswim.324/

this finds x bars in a row, on the same side of 0.
it colors the last bar in the series.
if the quantity is 7 and there are 8 bars in a row, the last 2 will be colored.

declare lower; 
Input price = close; 
Input Fast = 1; 
Input Slow = 5; 
input qty = 7;
def FastSMA = Average(Price, Fast);
def SlowSMA = Average(price, Slow); 
def Diff = FastSMA - SlowSMA; 

def ispos = diff > 0;
def isneg = diff < 0;
def pos_series = sum(ispos, qty) == qty;
def neg_series = sum(isneg, qty) == qty;

plot ZeroLine = 0; 
plot zDiff = diff;
zDiff.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HISTOGRAM);
zdiff.AssignValueColor(if pos_series then color.green else if neg_series then color.red else color.gray);
