We would like to color the text displayed based on the whether or not the value of the indicator from the referenced chart is positive or negative. It doesn't appear this is currently available. Or is there actually a way to do this?

Thank you!

We have updated the "Text Display for Study" and "Text Display for Study from Chart" so that coloring can be applied when the referenced value is above/below a set level. These changes will be in the next Pre-Release (v 2911).

Refer to the information for the last 4 Inputs at the following link for how this works:
