ADX(10)<=REF(ADX(10).-1)AND WHEN (MACD()<REF(MACD(),-1))

ADX(10)>=REF(ADX(10),1)AND WHEN  (MACD()<REF(MACD(),-1))

ADX(10)<=REF(ADX(10),1)AND WHEN (MACD()>REF (MACD(),-1))

The following four separate formula could be used as the Formula in four separate Custom PCF Indicators using the Dots Plot Style plotted in the same pane and scale as each other. Set the color of each indicator as desired. 

IIF(ADX(10, 10) >= ADX(10, 10, 1) AND MACD12.26 > MACD12.26.1, 0, 1 / 0)

IIF(ADX(10, 10) <= ADX(10, 10, 1) AND MACD12.26 < MACD12.26.1, 0, 1 / 0)

IIF(ADX(10, 10) >= ADX(10, 10, 1) AND MACD12.26 < MACD12.26.1, 0, 1 / 0)

IIF(ADX(10, 10) <= ADX(10, 10, 1) AND MACD12.26 > MACD12.26.1, 0, 1 / 0)

The third first argument of the IIF() function is the condition formula itself. The second argument is what cause the Custom PCF Indicator to plot the dot at zero when true (you can change this value to something else if you want). The third argument generates a division by zero error when false making it so not dot plots.

I think you are using an earlier version of the software (the previous formulas only work in v17+). Please try using the following four seprate formulas in four seperate Custom PCF Indicators using the Dots Plot Style instead.

0 / ABS(ADX(10, 10) >= ADX(10, 10, 1) AND MACD12.26 > MACD12.26.1)

0 / ABS(ADX(10, 10) <= ADX(10, 10, 1) AND MACD12.26 < MACD12.26.1)

0 / ABS(ADX(10, 10) >= ADX(10, 10, 1) AND MACD12.26 < MACD12.26.1)

0 / ABS(ADX(10, 10) <= ADX(10, 10, 1) AND MACD12.26 > MACD12.26.1)

The value at which the dot should plot when true is now at the beginning of the formula (the zero).
