Change plot color for increasing or decreasing x values

Hi all...I'm pretty inexperienced with MATLAB so bear with me. I am trying to import a data set from a .txt file which has many cycles along the x-axis. Since the x-axis is temperature, I would like the increasing segment of each cycle curve (heating) to be red and the decreasing segment (cooling) to be blue. I'm not experienced enough to write a FOR loop to implement this, and I was unable to find a solution on the forums. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

from what you described you don't really need a for loop to implement it. here is a solution to get away from a for loop
%my attempt to make something i think you're plotting.
%something like a Hysteresis curve.
y = [0 8 12 8 0 -8 -12 -8 0];
x = [2 10 10 8 -2 -10 -10 -8 2];
figure,plot(x,y)
%find which segments are heating and cooling or staying the same.
dx = diff(x); %takes x(n+1)-x(n)
heating = dx>0; %positive dx
steady = dx ==0; %0 dx (temp values didn't change)
cooling = dx<0; %negative dx.
plotSegmentX = [x(1:end-1);x(2:end)]; %pair the segments up.
plotSegmentY = [y(1:end-1);y(2:end)]; %pair the segments up.
%plot only the heating segments and color them red. then plot only the cooling etc.
figure,plot(plotSegmentX(:,heating),plotSegmentY(:,heating),'r',...
plotSegmentX(:,cooling),plotSegmentY(:,cooling),'b',...
plotSegmentX(:,steady),plotSegmentY(:,steady),'g')
xlim([-14 14]);ylim([-12 12])

What i can see it is because of how i defined my x and y and your x and y. my xy values are 1xN and yours is Nx1. so when i did the plotsegmentX and Y we needed it to be 2x(N-1). So with the code i would change it to be:
plotSegmentX = [x(1:end-1) x(2:end)]'; %pair the segments up.
plotSegmentY = [y(1:end-1) y(2:end)]'; %pair the segments up.
that should work with your x and y. That way when the plot function is called it plots the first column of plotSegmentX and first column of plotSegmentY together (etc down the rest of the columns.).
