Hello Kin,

Thank you for your note.

Which moving average indicator are you attempting to call?

Are you coding this directly using the code editor window, or are you using the Strategy Wizard?

The SMA, EMA, and HMA moving averages all take only one overload parameter and that is the period. The period is the amount of bars that you would like the moving average indicator to calculate over. This cannot be a negative value as it would mean that you would like the indicator to calculate for a negative amount of bars which is not possible.


I look forward to working with you further.

coding in the code editor window. And did write few custom indicators before. This indicator is for MA and what I'm doing right now in one of the Column in MA is just pass on the Stochastics daily value.
Right now it is as simple as : Value.set(Stochastics(14,3).D[0]);
What I want to do now is depending on Rising or Falling of the Stochastics I want to change color in the MA Column.

How do i do that ?.

Hello kinshin9,

To change the color of the plot you can use PlotColors.

For example:

Value.set(Stochastics(14,3).D[0]);
PlotColors[0][0] = Color.Red;

Below is a link to the help guide on PlotColors.

Please let me know if this does not resolve your inquiry.

Let me try again. What I am doing right nowis , the MA column would show the value of stochastics.
For example If the daily stochasitcs is 30 it would show 30 if 15 it would show 15. But I do not know is it +30 or -30 / +15 or -15 meaning is the stochasitcs raising or falling ?. What would I do in the code to add this + or - sign to the integer. That's all I want. Hope I am clear this time

Hello kinshin9,

Thank you for the clarification.

Try the following:

if (Falling(Stochastics(14,3).D[0]))
{
	Value.Set(-1 * Stochastics(14,3).D[0]);
}
else
{
	Value.Set(Stochastics(14,3).D[0]);
}

What this will do is if the Stochastics is falling it will multiply the .D value with -1 to make the integer negative.


Also, I am now understanding that the MA is the indicator you are coding and that you are trying to use this with the Market Analyzer.


Please let me know if this does not resolve your inquiry.

Thanks a bunch I just finished coding it by subtractng (0-stoch[0]) if falling .
