I'm looking for a MACD that colors the bars when the avg is above macd line and above zero line and opposite for below zero line

Welcome to the forums sinclair54!

Many custom indicators and modifications of the MACD indicator can be found on our User App Share. I have provided a link to a search of MACD variants below. You may find several different customized indicators to choose from here.

Hello sinclair54,

Our support staff would not provide the code modifications on your behalf, but we would be happy to show you what modifications you would need to make so you can customize your own indicators.

You can open the MACD indicator in the NinjaScript Editor, right click, and then select Save As to create a copy that you can modify.

Note that our current plot values are Value[0], Avg[0], and Diff[0].

Your comparisons involve comparing the MACD plot (Value[0]) to the Avg plot (Avg[0]) and then changing the color of the Diff plot. Note that the Diff plot is the third plot that is added with AddPlot in State.SetDefaults.

You can then make comparisons between the MACD and Avg plots to see if the MACD plot is greater than the Avg plot or the MACD plot is less than the Avg plot. Then you can change PlotBrushes[2][0] to change the current brush color for the Diff plot (3rd plot added) for your desired color.

For example:

if (Value[0] > Avg[0] && Value[0] < 0)
    PlotBrushes[2][0] = Brushes.Red;

Some basic programming concepts can be found in our NinjaTrader 7 Help Guide, but you can find more robust C# education resources external to NinjaTrader. Changing the colors of indicator in your own way would be a good introductory exercise, but if this is too difficult, you can always consider enlisting the services of a NinjaScript Consultant to have the code written for you. If that interests you, please let us know and we can have a colleague follow up with more information.
