[amibroker] Market Trend Indicator

This is where I'm at with this indicator... (see below)...

It compares price action between the $SPX and $VIX to determine the 
market trend at any given moment (this is primarily for hourly 
trading). I would like the price line (varSPXPrice/varVIXPrice) bar 
color to reflect more information than I have here. 

Right now, I have a basic buy/sell color code for the price line. I 
would like to make the price line colorBrightGreen when there's a buy 
signal AND the $SPX is above the $VIX. Make it colorPink for the 
reverse.

I'm not sure what the best way is to determine when one index is 
higher or lower the other since they are using different scales. Any 
ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Bman
