[Indicator] Difference between 2 Mas

  • First Post: Dec 1, 2008 2:19am Dec 1, 2008 2:19am
I'd need an indicator that shows in form of hystogram the difference between 2 Ma's

It would be great if the Ma are both configurable in the mode (Simple, Exponential, etc.) and also the value of each time (Close, High, Open, H+L/2, etc.) and it would be even better if the "growing" bars (current value bigger than the last bar close) are shown as green, and the "shrinking" bars (current value lower than last close) are shown as red.

It would be of great help to me, I'm working on a system that I would like to share with all of you here in FF.

Thank you very much for your help.

Best regards,
Corre

DifMas[i] < DifMas[i-1]
-1 or +1? (previous bar or future bar?)

normally distance between 2 MAs is Macd (just put varible ma settings)

sorry but this indicator doesn't seem to work properly *_*

it repaints every time, and this is pretty strange it should just check the difference between the 2 ema at the close and write it for each bar...

current bar, the difference between 2 ma's close at the "close" of the same bar.

i.e.
M15:
EMA (close) 30 --> 1.50
EMA (close) 10 --> 1.20

the indicator must show -0.30

and if the previous bar had closed with a diffence between the EMA greater (-28,-27,-10, etc.) the -0.3 has to be shown red, viceversa if the prior EMa difference was lower (-0.45,-0.4, etc.) the 0.3 has to be shown in green.

every time a bar closes there are immutable valors for these EMAs so... why your indicator repaints? (I saw it with my own eyes, check it on M1)

pepbullish I noticed that the valors don't repaint so your indicator is already ok, but what repaints is the color.

when you change TF and return to the previous the colors of the last bars can change.

if you could just fix the color thing, your indicator would be already perfect

Hey Friend, fxxx is right:

double Ma1 = iMA(NULL,0,MA1Period,MA1Shift,MA1Type,MA1AppliedPrice,i);
double Ma2 = iMA(NULL,0,MA2Period,MA2Shift,MA2Type,MA2AppliedPrice,i);

double Ma1_i = iMA(NULL,0,MA1Period,MA1Shift,MA1Type,MA1AppliedPrice,i+1);
double Ma2_i = iMA(NULL,0,MA2Period,MA2Shift,MA2Type,MA2AppliedPrice,i+1);

DifMas[i] = Ma1 - Ma2;
DifMas_i[i] = Ma1_i - Ma2_i;

if ( DifMas[i] > DifMas_i[i] ) BullishBar[i] = DifMas[i];
if ( DifMas[i] < DifMas_i[i] ) BearishBar[i] = DifMas[i];

now works!

but I am not able to put the signal, where it right i post here

I thought to do with macd but I dont know if you put it all possible entries

if you want:

MA1 parameters : shift 2 , method close , price typical
MA2 parameters : shift 5 , method open , price median

With these paremeters is possible in macd ?
