How to fill zone between moving averages?

[TraderSpike]

Draw.Region(this, "Tag" + nRegionStart, nCount, 0, LongTrend, MidTrend, Brushes.Transparent, pCloudUpColor, nOpacity);

the nRegionStart is when crossed. I use this for my tags in order to reduce multiple graphics

if (bCloudSwitchGreen == true)
{
Draw.Region(this, "Tag" + nRegionStart, nCount, 0, LongTrend, MidTrend, Brushes.Transparent, pCloudUpColor, nOpacity);
nCount++;
}
if (bCloudSwitchGreen == false)
{
Draw.Region(this, "Tag" + nRegionStart, nCount, 0, LongTrend, MidTrend, Brushes.Transparent, pCloudDownColor, nOpacity);
nCount++;
}


my long and midtrend are my plots

Thanks ballboy11 I appreciate you sharing your code. I got mine to work based on this, but used "CurrentBar - nRegionStart" instead of "nCount".

Came to this thread because I was having issues changing the region's colors at the crossing of two indicators. That's done now (thanks ballboy11 and NinjaTrader_PaulH).

I also wanted to change colors within the area/region (in between crossings) depending on the direction of one indicator, but I found that it would be creating too many objects and affect performance. Any ideas would be appreciated. For example: a fast EMA crossing up a slower EMA, the area/region is drawn green, but when it starts falling, the color switches to a darker green (still green until it crosses down). Probably not worth the effort or compute resources but people like the visual effects.

2 things. It is great you got it working. First you would have to check if ema0 is less than ema1 to change color, second nRegionstart can be reset to zero in order to save object memory

thanks

i copied the code from here but i am full of erorrs.....

else if (State == State.Configure)

AddDataSeries(BarsPeriodType.Minute, 60);

AddPlot(Brushes.Transparent, "Primary");

AddPlot(Brushes.Red, "Second");
AddPlot(Brushes.Aqua,"Third");
}

}

protected override void OnBarUpdate()

if(CurrentBars[1] <20 || CurrentBars[0]<20 || CurrentBars[2]<20 ) return;

Values[0][0]=DEMA(Opens[0], 5)[0];
Values[1][0]=DEMA(Closes[1], 5)[0];
Values[2][0]=DEMA(Opens[1], 5)[0];


if(Values[2][0]>Values[1][0])

Here is the file for you and what you are trying to do. It will work. It looks like you want to compare with the 60 minute chart and what other time frame you are trading with MyIndicator.zip
