Recreating an indicator in MT4/5 from sierrachart

I would like help creating an indicator within MT4/5 in order to program an autotrader with my study. I have the settings for the indicator I'd like to use, yet I can't seem to mirror the settings within MT4. I'm familiar with MQL (thus why I'd like to write my autotrader there), but I'm open to any and all suggestions. I did look into the spreadsheet system here, but I don't feel like it gives what I'm looking for.

Please message me if you have any experience with this OR if you would be willing to make the custom indicator for me in MT4 for a fee.

I have attached a few screenshots showing the settings I'd like to mirror in a custom indicator within MT4.

Rather than using the Spreadsheet System for Trading Study, refer to the ACSIL trading functions instead:
Automated Trading From an Advanced Custom Study

Also the MACD is a very standard and simple study. You should have no trouble reproducing that in another program.

Forgive my lack of knowledge. I'm able to reproduce all of the effects save for the main bar changing from green to red/red to green as shown in the subgraph settings. Is this something I'm just missing with MT5 or is this something only done in sierra chart?

We would think you could do that in any program.

It is just coloring the MACD bar based upon its slope.
