update MA indicator to use two colors for up and down @ Forex Factory

AcuProfit · #1 Jun 7, 2009 8:47am

Hello, would anyone be able to modify the mq4 file called "New Color Moving Averages.mq4" so that it uses a configurable color coding if the average is up or down same as the other attached file called "HMA Russian Color" does? I only want two colors by the way, not three like some indicators do that are color coded by the way. The mq4 is just the standard moving averages indicator from MT4 but in mq4 format which I find wonderful enough, just want some colors to add to the bells and whistles.

I want to try transforming my template that currently uses one color into something with two colors to see if any conclusions can become from trying two colors. You never know. I find this template somewhat useful to see natural support and resistance points from the moving averages.

Thank you in advance if anyone is able to help.

ps... If you have a multi monitor desktop you can view the hi res snapshots on many screens to get a macro view that seems ok to help me trade.

Are you using this on default settings!??
I could easily remove the rest off the unnecesary code and make
you a nice new colored indi!

PS; The indicator is decompiled, and it is a bitch to understand it!

Here are the indicators and template. You can see, it uses a Simple Moving Average calculate wit Median Price(HL/2)

The bullseyes will repaint a bit so careful. I use the more for reference than actual signals.

It would be nice to make a .mq4 indicator that can add just the color coding (use DarkGreen for MA is up and Maroon for MA is down) with the same name so when compiled, I wouldn;t have to edit all those MAs. Just load the template and voila...instant gratification.

The two stochastics (one uses a higher TimeFrame) and using the CCI indicator is not bad for taking trade setups as the CCI indicator keeps you from taking alot of "head fake" entries on the Stochastic alone. I am looking for ways to improve the trade entry accuracy. Suggestions are welcome.

The ZUP82 indicator is beneficial for some setups for harmonic trading.

Anyone have any suggestions to improve this system?
