Moving Average Cross colors

[Jason11]

Please help! I'm trying to color two moving averages based on when MA1 is above MA2.

What I'm trying to achieve is to have both MA's Green when MA1 is above MA2 and Both MA's Red when MA1 is below MA2.

Here is the code I have been working on but it doesnt do what I am trying to achieve. Any help would be appreciated.

thanks.

Jason


protected override void Initialize()
{
Add(new Plot(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.SpringGreen), PlotStyle.Line, "FastAbove"));
Add(new Plot(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Red), PlotStyle.Line, "FastBelow"));
Add(new Plot(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.DarkViolet), PlotStyle.Line, "SlowAbove"));
Add(new Plot(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Red), PlotStyle.Line, "SlowBelow"));
Overlay = false;
}

/// <summary>
/// Called on each bar update event (incoming tick)
/// </summary>
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{

bool Bearish=(EMA(6)[0] < SMA(14)[0]);
bool Bullish=(EMA(6)[0] > SMA (14) [0]);


if (Bearish)
FastBelow.Set(EMA(6)[0]);
if (Bearish)
SlowBelow.Set(SMA(14)[0]);

if (Bullish)
FastAbove.Set(EMA(6)[0]);
SlowAbove.Set(SMA(14)[0]);
}

Guess this is doing what you are looking. Coded for NT7

Finnbjurvoll -

Yes ! Thank you! That is exactly what I was looking for. I was looking for the indicator in the 'edit ninja script' section of the tools menu and I cant find this indicator listed with the other indicators in NinjaTrader. I'm not able to edit the indicator. Do you know why? Does it have something to do with the DLL file?

The indicator does what I was looking but I was trying to edit it so the longer MA was an SMA and the Shorter MA was an EMA.

Excellent work. Thanks.

Edit Indicator

If you imported it in NT7, you should be able to edit the indicator. How did you install the indicator? Didi you use : File > Utilities > Import NinjaScript?

[Jason11]

Yes. That is how I imported it but I'm not able to see it in the available list of indicators to edit. Its really strange.

I looked in the directory : documents/NinjaTrader7/bin/Custom
and it looks like the .cs and .dll files are in there. Is that where they are supposed to be? I'm not sure why NinjaTrader would put them there.

Ok, I think maybe i exported it the wrong way However, I reprogrammed it so the slow is now a sma. I guess you will be able to open this one. Please let me know i you need more help. Finn
