Help with indicator colouring, please

[JC_Fernandes]

I am trying to colour an area between two moving averages of the price.
(Or fill the area between the 2 MAs with a pattern, say).

So far I've tried a few ways but nothing worked.
Any ideas of how this can be done in a easy (or less so) way?

Thanks in advance,

JC

Our upcoming NT 6.5 will have a new method named DrawRegion() that will allow you to color a region such as in between two MA's. We should have public beta out shortly.

Good, thanks for the reply.
Indicators, like custom indicators or others, like the Ichimoku Kinko Hyo, will benefit from that.

If you don't want to wait, Josh might have a solution in his VWAP code.

Thanks for leading me to it, Rollins.

Exactly what I needed, albeit in a more convoluted way than I had wished for.

No problem JC, another place to look could be Gumphrie's RMMA, apart from using a ton of plots, the drawing code doesn't seem to be very complicated.
Although I should mention that I haven't spend time on understanding either solution but I will do so soon because of wanting to develop an RMMA like indicator, or just modding it a bit.

Excellent KBJ! Thank you very much, I will only have to add a few lines and my indicator is done.

[JC_Fernandes]

Yes, KBJ, right on the spot!
Just nice.
The problem I have is, after coping you Plot routine, because I have 5 lines in my indicator, and although I changed your code so that it uses Values[3] and Values[4], rather than Values[0] and Values[1], the code still applies the region colour to the first two DataSeries and not to the ones I specify.

Am I missing something else?

Thanks for the good work.

No worries, found it: I also had to change the first for loop within the Plot routine.
