its in the INPUT Tab, check for lines width and histogram width.
If Chart Background color settings is given NONE, then the indicator displays normally like the first image .If the chart background colour settings is given anything other than NONE it displays like the second image on refreshing.

To be consistently profitable is to pick the right strategy for what price is doing, not what we think price will do.

OK, this is what it looks like on a MT4 default template with green on black color scheme;
when the background colour is changed to DimGrey, it appears like this;
I suppose this is normal behaviour? MrTools can advise.

Normal mt4 regular histograms are all zero based, no matter what you are basing your code on the histogram will draw from zero. This code think if I remember correctly was creasted by Mladen and what it does is the code automatically changes the 3rd histogram color to match your chart background color, so the indicator is still actually drawing a zero based histogram but the part that you want hidden is hidden by the histogram color being the same as the background color. Hope that explains it somewhat.

Thank you for the great deal of explanation mrtools. really appreciate that.

Remember reading somewhere either you or mladen saying the same where the indicator was created to show mirror image due to the limitations of mt4. Especially the 0 based ones.

the information is clearly shown by the indicator, so that's good for the users :)

Added the ma,arrows,and alerts also made it more user friendly.
