Hello diver,

Thanks for your post.

I just wanted to mention that my Lead has approved this as a conversion and I had just finished converting and have submitted this to our User App Share. Once this has been posted on the User App Share, I will update this post with a link.

Thanks for your interest!

Jim,

I have an MQ4 version of this indicator. Supposedly the NT copy that you converted was derived from that one. Is there any way you can compare the two (MQ4 and NT) to make sure that the one you converted is showing the exact same parameters as the MQ4 version? Please let me know. Thanks again.

Hello diver,

I don't have a means to test MetaTrader, so I could not do any comparisons between platforms. The scope of my conversion was to ensure the NT7 and NT8 versions were equal, and I verified everything was plotting the same between these versions. As I understand, there were some parameters added to the NinjaTrader 7 version for specifically for Acceleration, so the parameters may be different between the MetaTrader version and the NT7/NT8 versions.

I'll quote other changes noted:

a) Fixed ZeroLagEMA onbarclose = false problem.
b) Added ADXVMA filter
c) Added Threshold filter (price must cross zero + threshold to trigger)
d) Changed logic, will now plot "up" if MACD + Threshold > ADX
e) Added Acceleration logic, can now keep "ratio" of 12,26,9 but speed up proportionally if desired

If you are comparing versions, I suggest making sure that the data being put through the indicator is the same on both platforms since differences in data between data providers will create differences in indicator plots.

Let me know if there is anything else I can do to help.
