MA color bar direction

I wonder if any clever soul here has developed or can develop and indicator that can determine if an ema is sloping up or down from its previous bar or bars

Ie if the ema is higher this bar than last a green block is placed in an indicator panel at the bottom of the workspace

It stays making higher closes for 3 bars so we get 3 green blocks and then we get a lower close so we get a red block

Like a 2 colour MA but instead of the ma changing colour the change is given in the form of blocks in a separate indy panel

As normal as developments of systems etc will be posted in FF

Cheers

Hi,
give this a try.. hope will meet your needs..

Extern parameters:

extern int MAPeriod=12;
extern int MAType=1; // 1 = EMA , 2 = SMMA , 3 = LWMA , 4 = LSMA , other = SMA
extern int MAAppliedPrice = 0;//0=close, 1=open, 2=high, 3=low, 4=median(high+low)/2, 5=typical(high+low+close)/3, 6=weighted(high+low+close+close)/4

regards,
Indiana

thats great indiana ..... thanks now pushing my luck here I know

But could you do the same thing but using 2 ma's ?

IE if 13 ema under 21 ema it will be red it 13ema is over 21 ema it will be blue and present it in bar form like the indicator you have done

?

Yep.. here it is..
You can change colors, MAs type and applied price ,
set alert (on/off) , show arrow (on/off) and send email ( if correctly configured) ..

Original indicator made by master mladen..thanks to him. I only made some minor modifications to adapt it

best,
Indiana

Isn't that what a MACD is. The zero point is where your 13 and 21 would cross and the amplitude is nothing more then the amount of convergence or divergence between two MA..hence MA. C D.

How about doing away with the separate Indi and having the background on the Main chart change color?
Any ideas on how this can be done?

Hello Indiana:

Please could you help me put an alert and notification on the MA in color with applied price? I'm talking about the single MA that changes color, not the MA crossover.

I have the indi, but it does not have alerts when the MA changes color. I'll love to have both alerts and an arrow to show the changes. I'll really appreciate your help. Thanks.
