Hello Friends, I am looking for some help in getting a formula/indicator created for MT4 platform. I would really appreciate if someone can help create this for me. It should be customized later in case we need to change values of MA for testing purpose. Below are the requirements – X=Plot EMA 10 Y=Plot EMA 50 Z=Plot EMA 100 Plot MA 66 Here is the color coding required (default you can keep this but we should be able to change it later if required) – Plot EMA 10 – color Blue Plot EMA 50 – color Magenta Plot EMA 100 – color...

The cloud should not hide the bars but the bars should be visible over them. But anyway thank you so much for your help.

This is getting closer to what you want although I suspect to do more you will run out of buffers.

imo your if-clauses are wrong; your code is not displaying those gaps where x<y and x>z also the criterion for red/white combination is met when x<z (not y<z), as shown on picture (OP); however, the picture does not correspond to the conditions stated; also, conditions seem incomplete

You are entirely correct however I cannot get my head around the code logic that is required to achieve the desired result

  if(x[i] > z[i])
      if(x[i] > y[i]) //Green
      else // White
   else
      if(x[i] > y[i] && y[i] < z[i]) //White colored?
   
   crossCheck(i);



void crossCheck(int i){
   buy[i] = EMPTY_VALUE;
   sell[i] = EMPTY_VALUE;
   if(x[i+1] <= z[i+1] && x[i] > z[i]) buy[i] = Low[i] - Point*5;
   else 
      if(x[i+1] >= z[i+1] && x[i] < z[i]) sell[i] = High[i] + Point*5;
}

  
   if(x[i] > z[i])
      if(x[i] > y[i]) // Green
      else            // White
   else
   if(x[i] < z[i])
      if(x[i] > y[i]) // White
      else            // Red

 if( Z[i] < Y[i] && X[i] < Z[i] ) { ribbon1[i] = Y[i]; ribbon2[i] = Z[i]; }
 if( X[i] < Y[i] && X[i] > Z[i] ) { ribbon1[i] = 0; ribbon2[i] = 0; }

Hi Abhinav, If your alerts are based on the X Z cross, what value do you get from the cloud or other MAs? Its an interesting programming problem so I will check it out and let you know how I get on. Fred

You can instruct mt4 to draw the chart above the indicators: [chart] properties->common->chart on foreground
