Conditional Statements

Use if-else statements for conditional logic.

//@version=5
indicator("Conditional Example", overlay=true)
ma = ta.sma(close, 14)
plotcolor = close > ma ? color.green : color.red
plot(ma, title="SMA 14", color=plotcolor)

Loops and Functions

Define and use custom functions.

Arrays

Use arrays for more complex data manipulation.

    sma + 1

result = f_smaPlusOne(close, 14)
plot(result, title="SMA + 1", color=color.blue)
