Macd cross arrows on price panel and hide macd

[trader333]

I have attached macd indicaor which draws arrow on crossing of macd with its average. I want to hide macd in lower panel and draw arrows on price panel instead. Thanks for help

Hello trader333,

Thank you for your post.

In the Initialize() method set the following:

			DrawOnPricePanel = true;
			Overlay = true;

For the Plot you would need to set it's color to Transparent.

did'nt work. I have tried your suggestions. I have tried to display it in same as price input and panel#1, if I display it in panel #2, it would display indicator in new panel but no arrows. see screenshot

trader333, I've changed your code a bit up as a courtesy to plot the MACD arrows at price based values and not based on the MACD price itself, further I have removed the 0 line.

This should now draw as you expected and not show any plots, but only the MACD signals on price.

I like the coding for the cross of slow & fast of MACD signals and displaying arrows. But instead of cross of slow & fast MA I would like to display in Price Panel the blue arrow whenever the slow MA line cross the zero line from below and red arrow whenever the slow MA line cross the zero line from above. It will be greatly appreciated if you can help me coding this for NT7. Thanks.

Hello sukhob,

With CrossAbove() / CrossBelow() you can supply a double value.

CrossAbove(IDataSeries series1, double value, int lookBackPeriod)

Below is a link to the help guide.

I tried to use the above code but it doesn't display any arrow whenever the slow MA crosses above/below zeroline. I am attaching the code file. What am I doing wrong here?

Hello sukhob,

Use prints to find out if the condition to draw the object is evaluating as true. (Or if the else that removes the object is evaluating as true)

Below is a link to a forum post that demonstrates using prints to understand behavior.

Please include the output from the prints and the code of the print and I will be happy to assist in analyzing the output and the behavior.

As a test, you could try drawing the arrows outside of the condition to ensure they are drawing as expected. This would also point to the condition that draws the objects as the issue.

Hello,

I have searched the internet high and low for a modification to the below indicator, one that has the option to only show buy arrows above the zero line and only sell arrows below the zero line, would it be possible for someone here to make this modification for me, it would greatly be appreciated.

Thank You !!!

In the condition set that draws the up arrow, you could add a condition that the myMACD.Default[0] is greater than 0. And for the condition set that draws the down arrow require myMACD.Default[0] to be less than 0.
