Sma with changing colour

[Tonyb]

I am looking for a sma indicator that changes line colour if the current reading closes higher than previous bar, to green, for example and red for opposite. Also a third colour if the reading is the same as previous bar.

If someone has such an indicator i would be really grateful if they could share it. I am not a techie so could not change code.. etc.

Help would really be appreciated!

Tonyb,

This can be done through custom programming. I am not sure if this exact one has been made, but you can try searching in the File Sharing section.

If it is not already made you could also try one of the 3rd party NinjaScript Consultants here as a last resort: http://www.ninjatrader.com/webnew/pa...injaScript.htm

charges to Tony's rescue once again! :P

um, seriously, I found the sample code Josh had up for enumerated types ( Note to Josh, being able to find it with search words "moving average" would have helped )

So....BEHOLD the color sample universal moving average. The code is pretty straight forward to add to if you need to and it's a fair approach to changing plot colors based on a condition.

color sample universal moving average

when usings dots to plot Color sample universal moving average, the last dot sometimes changes color as the new price bar is forming.Is there any way to prevent this from happening

You could try CalculateOnBarClose = true for the indicator.
