To Fill zone between MACD lines

[Mestor]

Good Morning,

I'm trying to fill the zone between MACD signal and average

It is filled but it does not always respect the colors

The condition I use is Diff> 0 and I have verified that it is true without problem

Can there be an error in these lines?

...
if (Diff[0] >= 0)
{
Draw.Region(this, "ColorUP", CurrentBar, 0, MACD(Fast, Slow, Smooth), MACD(Fast, Slow, Smooth).Avg, null, Brushes.Lime, 30);
}

else

{
Draw.Region(this, "ColorDOWN", CurrentBar, 0, MACD(Fast, Slow, Smooth).Avg, MACD(Fast, Slow, Smooth), null, Brushes.Red, 50);
}

...

Thank you

Hello Mestor,

Thanks for your post.

The reason that the regions look as they do is that you are actually drawing two regions (ColorUP and ColorDOWN) both starting from the beginning of historical data to the current bar on top of each other, so you are seeing a blended color based on the colors choices and transparency setting.

You would need to draw regions based on the crossover and would need to create a new region at each crossover point (Diff >= 0, or Diff < 0) this basically would involve saving the bar number of when the cross first occurs and continuing to draw that same region updating it from that saved bar to the current bar until the next crossover occurs and then drawing a new region with the other color.

Thank you very much for your help

I understand what you say but I do not know how to do it

Could you give me some indication or example please?

Thank you

Hello Mestor,

Thanks for your reply.

I coded something similar in the NT8 conversion of the Bollinger_TripleState indicator which had 3 possible differently colored regions. I used a bool for each condition and an int variable to save the first bar of the new condition and would continue to redraw that region on each new bar until a new condition occurs.

Draw.Region(this,"TagName"+ CurrentBar.ToString(),tTimecrossed,Time[0],Plot1,Plot2,pRegionBrush,pRegionBrush,nEntryExitR egionOpacity);

pRegionBrush can be changed when going up or down

ie
pRegionBrush = Brushes.Red;
pRegionBrush = Brushes.Green;

tTimecrossed is the time the macd lines crossed.

One error is the CurrentBar, Get a specific count in order to reduce objects

Draw.Region(this,"TagName"+ nCount.ToString(),tTimecrossed,Time[0],Plot1,Plot2,pRegionBrush,pRegionBrush,nEntryExitR egionOpacity);

Thanks but I can not do it

I attach the code in case someone can help me and fix it

Hello Mestor,

Thanks for your reply.

Please note that we do not provide coding/debugging services.

If you would like the indicator created for you, an option to consider would be hiring a programmer and if requested we can provide references to 3rd party programmer who would be able to assist.
