Hi,

I've found this indicator from the net, its a moving average thats shows color changes when the value changes. Up means, blue, down means red, green means no changes.

The only problem with this MA its we cant define "applies to " functions like regular Ma whereby we can decide applies to open/close.

Can anyone help out with this indicator so that we can have an additional option of "applies to" for this indicator?

Or you guys have a better Ma than this version, please share it here.

HI airman,

I dont really get what you saying, and im not a coder here by the way.

Do you want someone to complete the indicator for you so that it can be applied to m30 chart?

oh... i think you cant just trade using single signal from this indicator, you need multiple confirmation before placing a trade.

I had to work it out by trial and error - from memory, the Price setting is 0 for the close - so 1,2,3 etc will follow the usual MA options for Open, High etc

MA Method - 1 is the EMA and there are 10 or 15 options, so just put them up on a chart and then put your cursor or cross hairs on the MA line and it will tell you what type of MA it is.....

Quick DAILY S/R Levels for Monday

  1. As long as 1.1847 area supports, bulls will probably try to pierce and settle back above 1.18745 area...
  2. Overall picture stays bearish, but bears have to achieve a candle close below 1.1847 for continuation...
  3. As I mentioned today, based on H1, I am waiting until bulls are done, so that we can sell again... No rush!

Happy weekends to all
