I'm trying to do a couple pretty simple things...basically 1(or 2 whutever works) indicators.
One has an external variable and you type in the RSI period and it shows a mark above the candle at closing if RSI is below a certain level and also shows a mark below candle if RSI above certain level.

Other thing is color candle based on MA cross (1 color MA greater than MA..another color if MA is less than MA)

if I get something hammered out, I will gladly show to coder that helps...
i won't be posting the method everywhere

Take a look and tell me if this is what you had in mind. Here are the external options explained that you can change for the indicator:

default RSI_Period 14; // Number of periods for calculation
default RSI_PriceType 0; // 0:Close 1:Open 2:High 3:Low 4:Median 5:Typical 6:Weighted
default RSI_LevelUp 70; // Trigger level from the upside
default RSI_LevelDown 30; // Trigger level from the downside
default MA1_Period 9; // Averaging period for calculation
default MA1_Mode 1; // 0=sma, 1=ema, 2=smma, 3=lwma
default MA1_PriceType 0; // 0:Close 1:Open 2:High 3:Low 4:Median 5:Typical 6:Weighted
default MA2_Period 21; // Averaging period for calculation
default MA2_Mode 0; // 0=sma, 1=ema, 2=smma, 3=lwma
default MA2_PriceType 0; // 0:Close 1:Open 2:High 3:Low 4:Median 5:Typical 6:Weighted
default ShowComment true; // true: Display Comment, false: Don't Display Comment

WOw that just about nailed it..
i flipped the direction of the arrows(just swapped numbers in editor) and changed some default numbers and the only thing left is that i use HEIKEN candles (indicator) and I'd like to color the HEIKEN candles with this indicator and not the regular candles.

So i have the proper colored REgular candles on top of my IMproperly colored HEiken candles rite now..if that makes sense

i need properly colored Heiken candles and that it

The Hashi Ashi is already coloring your candles, what do you want the MA colors to do?

PS - already found that indicator, looks and feels the same as yours.

yeah that's the same heiken.

THe heiken colors are the wrong rules. The reds and whites are not correct.
The colors of the crossing MA's on the indicator you posted are Correct.
I can enter the MA information and it colors them correctly.

If one could input the MA's on the HEIKEN candle indicator and have them color like the indicator you posted..
That would be the answer.

is that clear at all?

I got a whole article printed to read about HEIKEN candles.. let's see what the colors mean there. I think I can substitute the colors easily but not today. I have guests and am pretty much drunk.
From LATVIA?

I'd never guess that you Drink

my gramps moved to the US from latvia in late 40's i think it was

OK, if I understood correctly then here it is:
RSI arrows inverted - UP on overbought, Down on oversold.
MAs Cross colors on top of Heiken Ashi Candles

Do you need the down arrow on top of candle or bottom? (and vice versa for up arrow)

that is really a Beautiful thing.
i Think the arrows are good where they are because they stay out of the Many MA's i have on the chart.

luckily i can make piddly changes in the editor.

I'll send you wut I come up with...that's assuming u have any interest at all
