How Can I Put A Solid Line At The Zero Level Of The PPO Indicator?

 | 

The Percentage Price Oscillator (PPO) is a momentum oscillator that measures the difference between two moving averages as a percentage of the larger moving average. The PPO-Histogram can be used to anticipate signal line crossovers in the PPO. You can add a solid line at the Zero level to more easily identify crossovers. This entry shows how to add a solid line to the histogram.

The Result
