Paint bars based on fast macd crossing 0

[eliscottie]

I am looking for an indie that will paint the bars Dodger Blue when the MACD Fast EMA (12) Crosses above 0; then paint the bars Red when Fast ema (12) Crosses Below 0. I also want to change the EMA's as I use different settings for different time frames. Anyone know where I can find this indie? Or could anyone develop it for me? I am not a programmer. Thanks!! SP

Hello eliscottie,
Let me correct it, in MACD EMA 12 is not plotted but macd is defined as difference of EMA 12 & EMA 26 which is plotted as macd line & the other signal line is EMA 9 of macd line. I believe you need to color candles when macd line is above / below 0.
Its fairly simple you can do it yourself, you would need below code for this:

if (macd.Default[0] > 0)
{[INDENT]BarBrushes[0] = Brushes.DodgerBlue; // body color
CandleOutlineBrushes[0] = Brushes.DodgerBlue; // wick color[/INDENT]
 
 }
else
{[INDENT]BarBrushes[0] = Brushes.Red; // body color
CandleOutlineBrushes[0] = Brushes.Red; // wick color[/INDENT]
 
 }

Hope it helps!

Attaching the closest match to your needs, you can modify it further as required. It should paint bars on macd line crossing average you can change this to 0.
Hope it helps!

Would it be possible to also add another set of variables to the MACDBarColor indicator?
Yes paint bars when fast crosses above/below 0.
But also, paint bars when fast crosses slow above/below 0.

Hi Chris

I attached the indicator.
You just need to import it. There's no code to copy paste.

I've attached a version 2 for the reasons outlined below.

Import the attached:-

"MACDBarColoursForChrisNucleus2.zip"




@NinjaTrader_PaulH

For Attention of Ninjatrader Help:-

The indicator "MACDBarColoursForChrisNucleus.zip" I attached at post # 6 doesn't save to a chart or as a template.
I've no idea why.

Meaning if I load the indicator to chart and save as template and or simply save workspace then the next time I open up NT8 the indicator isn't loaded on the chart and doesn't load when adding the previously saved template.

If anyone an NT can help that would be appreciated.

I've taken out the code for the following from "MACDBarColoursForChrisNucleus.zip" attached at post #6 and the indicator saves as it should:-

Background colour Avg < > 0
Plot lines:
MACD line rising/falling <> 0
Avg line rising/falling <> 0
Diff line rising/falling <> 0

You're welcome.

I don't understand either re the attachments.

I'm using the "Upload Attachments" button.

I attached the zip to post # 6 but then it wasn't showing. now it is
I then attached a v2 zip to post # 9 but now that's not showing.

I don't understand why.

I've attached v2 "MACDBarColoursForChrisNucleus2.zip" again to this post.

If the facility to attach doesn't work or I'm doing something wrong then hopefully NT support can advise.


Hope it works
