Simple indicator to add color between to EMA

[Duval]

Hi,
is there any indicator that will add color between 2 EMA ?
Of course it has to be eithe transparent, or behind price and other indicators.

You know like the cloud of ichimoku indicator..... but with 2 ema.

Thanks,
Duval

Hi Duval,

This is possible with DrawRegion(). There is a sample that can show you how to use it available here:

Thanks, indeed it shows it can be done, but I looked into the code, and for someone that is not a programmer, it is simply impossible to convert to using only 2 emas....

Is there no already existing code ?

Here you go Duval -- it's called "Slingshot":

I'm not aware of an indicator that does exactly this. I had an example close to this and modified for EMA and attached here.

Since we don't normally provide custom coding services, I'm sure you can understand that no additional support is available for this script. If you would like to see it customized further, please consider a NinjaScript consultant for this.

Thanks a lot, I really appreciate.
Only thing missing is that we can't set color for the filling.... but thanks again I appreciate.

You can set the color for the indicator I provided (Slingshot). You actually set two colors: one for when the lower period MA is above the higher period MA, and another for when the inverse is true.

Slingshot Error after modification

Hi,

I added ZeroLagEMA and ADXVMA to the slingshot script and it compiled fine, but after applying it to the chart with the original default matypes it works great. If i change the ma type to either ZerolagEMA or ADXVMA the price data is getting squeezed if i move the chart to the left and all price action is seen as a single line at the top as you can see in the attachment. Can some one explain where i did wrong?

Thank you,
SC.


EDIT: I noticed that it is happening when i had Calculate on Bar Close set to "False"

Hi bhavaanii,

It may be that it's not designed to run with CalculateOnBarClose = false. We unfortunately do not provide support for third party scripts here. If you can PM the author, it may be best way to find out what is happening with it.
