Calculation

//input = price, user defined, default is Midpoint
//method = moving average (ma), user defined, default is SMA
//slowPeriod = user defined, default is 34
//fastPeriod = user defined, default is 5
//index = current bar number
//MT= more than, LT= less than

slowMA = ma(method, index, slowPeriod, input);
fastMA = ma(method, index, fastPeriod, input);
diff = fastMA - slowMA;
prev = diff[index-1];
if (prev MT diff) setcolor(downColor);
else setColor(upColor);
