Art, you generally want to follow this sample - http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...ead.php?t=3227

For NT7 it would be this one below, as introduced the PlotColors series with this release -

Wasted the whole morning on this and got nothing so far, no Avg coloring except Ninja is hanging and looks lk lost all my work. Cannot start Ninja... Thank you very much. Is Ninja trying to teach us how to program on C#? Is this a big deal to create another sample?
Is there MACD sample not SMA?

This is what I'm wriing:

Add(new Plot(Color.Yellow, "Macd"));
//Add(new Plot(Color.Red, "Avg")); -- original

Add(new Plot(new Pen(Color.Lime, 2), PlotStyle.Line, "AvgRising"));
Add(new Plot(new Pen(Color.Red, 2), PlotStyle.Line, "AvgFalling"));
Add(new Plot(new Pen(Color.Black, 2), PlotStyle.Line, "AvgNeutral"));

Add(new Plot(new Pen(Color.Green, 3), PlotStyle.Bar, "HistTickUp"));
Add(new Plot(new Pen(Color.Red, 3), PlotStyle.Bar, "HistTickDown"));

Add(new Line(Color.Black, 0, "Zero line"));

Followed by
if (Rising(MACD(....).Avg))
{
RisingPlot.Set(1, MACD....)[1]);
RisingPlot.Set(MACD(....)[0]);
.....
}

And it does not work. Please help.
Thanks.

We would unfortunately not have a sample for each and every individual case - have you checked into the ready made scripts shared here? http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...ch=MACD&desc=1

If you can attach the complete script you got now, we could give it a run here as well.

To get started in the NinjaTrader indicator creation process we also offer those tutorials -

Hi,
I received your script, thank you very much! It certainly does what i want but does not show the histogram. Is there a way to keep the histogram please?
Thank you very much again.
Regards, Art.

You're welcome - you would need to create another plot in the file and then feed the MACD().Diff values (the histogram) in it - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...deV6/MACD.html

MACD Diff Histo color change?

Is there available a MACD Diff Histogram that changes color? If the current Diff reading is less that the previous, color red. It the current Diff reading is >= the previous, color blue. I am new to Ninjatrader so I do not know how to code this. Thanks for any assistance.

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

I believe the MACD Up Dn from our sharing section would be what you're after?

Thanks but I am having trouble importing the indicator. The cs file is saved on my desktop inside a new folder. It says "No Items Match Your Search" (inside the folder) when I try to import... When I click on the folder on the desktop, the cs file is clearly there so why is it not being found when I try to import it???... Assistance appreciated.

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

Please just download the posted zip file and then attempt to import the zip directly via the File > Utilities > Import NinjaScript command, that would be the recommended way to handle it.

For some reason it wasn't finding the zip file on the desktop, but I deleted it and downloaded again and it worked this time. Thanks and have a nice day.
