Code Output

Explanation

1. Version Declaration:

//@version=5

• This line specifies that the script is written in Pine Script version 5.

2. Indicator Declaration:

indicator("Indicator Color")

• This line defines a new indicator named "Indicator Color". When this script is applied to a chart, this name will be shown in the list of applied indicators.

3. Plotting Close Value with Color:

plot(close, color=color.green)

• plot(close, color=color.green): The plot function is used to draw a plot on the chart.

• close: This is a built-in variable in Pine Script that represents the closing price of the current bar.

• color=color.green: This specifies that the plot of the close price will be colored green.

4. Plotting Open Value with Color and Transparency:

plot(open, color=new(color.red, 75))

• plot(open, color=new(color.red, 75)): The plot function is used to draw a plot on the chart.

• open: This is a built-in variable in Pine Script that represents the opening price of the current bar.

• color=new(color.red, 75): This creates a new color based on color.red with 75% transparency. The new function allows customization of the color, including setting its transparency. The transparency value ranges from 0 (fully opaque) to 100 (fully transparent).
