What exactly is a "gradient ema'? Are you referring to an ema that changes color based on slope?

Yes, this indicator is available. Go to the "Ninjatrader 7 Indicators" section of the forum, sort by "Date Created (Descending)", and the scroll down three entries to "Multi MA Slope Color".

Hi Support,

This multi colored MA,..colors based on up/down slope

http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/forum/local_resize.php?linkid=418&size=0

But anyway to modify it so that the color changes gradually from green to red,..like gradient color based slope.

Is there any such indicator,..which does gradient color of moving average.

Thanks

Hello Commodity_Trader,

I am not aware of an indicator that will do this but yes it is possible.

Most of the indicator will use Known C# colors like Black, Green, Red, Blue etc but if you would like a more gradual color change from on one to another you may want to use the ARGB (Alpha, Red, Green, Blue) values so that you can more easily change the colors.

Here is a link to Microsoft site that goes over the Color Structure, Known Colors, and functions that you may view to help.

Example:

Plots[0].Pen.Color = Color.FromArgb(-16777216); //Black
