Added coloring of LB bars above/below Keltner Channel (as suggested by user @20813 below in the comments).
Updated code: pastebin.com/AhVQ1FBn.
See comments section below for a sample chart. Copy the code from the pastebin above and update your local copy (TV doesn't allow me to update an already published code -- yet!).
Added features:
- Switch ON/OFF KC
- Mark LB bars above/below KC
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The LBR PaintBars indicator changes the colour of the price bars based on the trend direction (derived from price & volatility bands). This is mostly used as a confirmation indicator.
For the Pine coders: I suggest trying stdev() in lieu of atr()...some wild combinations can be derived from this simple idea :)
Indicator supports the following options:
- Switching on/off volatility bands
- Switching on/off LBR colors (lime/maroon).
- Color non-LBR bars (blue).
Thanks @mseaworthy for pinging me with this idea.
