I never use oscillators any more but, back when I was into them, I used
to plot them like this. Sounds like what you need. On a black
background, it gives a cool looking red and green histogram with a white
line border (makes it easier to spot divergences).

var: my_osc(0);

my_osc = blah blah;

if my_osc > my_osc[1] then plot1(my_osc,"Up") else     {green histogram}
if my_osc < my_osc[1] then plot2(my_osc,"Down") else   {red histogram}
plot3(my_osc,"Flat");                                  {yellow point}
plot4(my_osc,"Line");                                  {white line}


If you need plots 3 and 4 for something else, you can just do

if my_osc >= my_osc[1] then plot1(my_osc,"Up") else    {green histogram}
plot2(my_osc,"Down");                                  {red histogram}
