LBR_PaintBars

Description

The LBR_PaintBars study transforms regular color scheme of the price plot according to its relation to Volatility Lines thus signifying trend direction. The bars whose close price is above Volatility Lines are displayed as bullish (green) and the bars that close below Volatility Lines are painted as bearish (red); otherwise, the regular color coding is kept.

Volatility Lines are calculated using the following algorithm. The first line represents the sum of the factorized moving average of the Average True Range (ATR) and the lowest low on the specified period. The second line is plotted as the difference of the highest igh on the same period and the factorized average of the ATR.

factor The factor by which the average of the ATR is multiplied.
