Price oscillator coloring

[qsilver]

Good morning,

I am looking for a way of displaying a price oscillator in the following manner as shown in the picture below. I understand you have something like this with the Bill Williams Awesome oscillator but that doesn't give you the ability to change the parameters of the two moving averages which is what I am looking for. I need the oscillator to have the ability to change color and also change the length of the moving averages and the smoothing settings. I have managed to create a price oscillator with my parameters as per the default settings on the ninja platform but it doesn't change color can anyone help in this regard, please??

Many thanks

Hello qsilver,

The PlotBrushes are where the colors for each bar for a plot can be set.

Below is a link to the help guide.

Not exactly sure how that would work ... I have many other indicators on my chart in addition to this one and my coding skills are close to 0 :-(

Hello qsilver,

Below is a link to a forum post with helpful information about getting started with C# and NinjaScript.

https://ninjatrader.com/support/forum/forum/ninjatrader-8/indicator-development/97575-sample-scripts?p=786040#post786040

Note that understanding C# is prerequisite to coding NinjaScript.

As an example:

if (/* my condition to paint bar here */)
{
PlotBrushes[0][0] = Brushes.Black;
}

You can also contact a professional NinjaScript Consultant who would be eager to create or modify this script at your request or assist you with your script.

Hello qsilver,

Try adding the code example from the help guide to the OnBarUpdate of a new script.

This is working sample code and will change a plot brush based on if the plot is rising or falling.
