How would you paint an indicator when its value changes?  For instance, have the stocastics line turn red (which is normally blue) when its value begins to decrease; and have it revert to its normal blue when its value begins to increase again. Can this be done?

You should be able to right-click on the Indicator and select Edit Colors | Edit (to the right of Paint Indicator with RealCode) and use something similar to the following RealCode:

If Line.Value > Line.Value(1) Then
    PlotColor = Color.Red
Else
    PlotColor = Color.Blue
End If

No, it is in StockFinder 4, but the steps in StockFinder 5 are mind numbingly similar. Right-click on the Indicator and select Edit | Paint Scheme. You can either Edit the existing Paint Scheme or create a New Paint Scheme. You will again select Edit (to the right of Apply RealCode) and use the same RealCode.
