Draw box on price indicator

Has anyone come across an indicator that can shade - create a box shape around price - according to a rule.

For example, if price above a certain MA, place a green box around price, and if price below that MA, place a red box around price

Just looking for a dumbed-down indicator to auto draw these boxes if anyone has one.

thx

Hi,
Do you mean you want a box drawn around each candle? is that what you mean by price or do you want a moving price display in a box to change color above below the MA, wouldnt the candles changing color above below a MA do it more effectively? I have made an indicator previously where the chart background changed color depending on whether the price was above or below a MA. Just asking as not really sure what exactly you want, a screenshot would help.

yeh i shoulda used a screenshot - the idea i had was something like attached, - a box on the background of chart - but then again depending on how it looked, maybe something on each candle would work ?

im not too fussed but attached is the idea i had in mind.

thx

Thank you very much for updating it.

I think I have mixed up with another of your indicator may be triple crossover indicator attaching small price tag boxes to the MA lines.
I am unable to locate that indicator. It's also an old indicator.

Sorry for that.

I have updated the code as this was very very old.

I have Single MA price display indicator or yours. I don't know how to make best use of the highlighted shadow.

Please advise how to make use of it.

If it is feasible, the facility to print distance (to be inputted by the user) in pips/points on the price line along with the Price tag will enhance its value further.

Thank you.

Sorry to have bothered you.
I found you have already provided instructions in the input panel itself.
Stupid of me not to have taken a look at it.
