How to fill zone between moving averages?

[testingsarasa]

Hi. Good morning for everybody.

I have two moving averages and i need to fill the zone between them.

Above cross, one color. Below cross, other color. If possible, change the color of the line as well.


Thanks!!!

Hello testingsarasa,

Thanks for your post.

To color the area between moving averages you can use: Draw.Region() Here is a link to the helpguide for that: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...raw_region.htm

To color the plots themselves, you would use PlotBrushes[][], please see the helpguide here (which includes an example of changing based on rising/falling conditions): https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...lotbrushes.htm

You may be interested either in using or in studying the code of this indicator which provides the options to color two moving averages and optionally provides the ability to color the region between the two moving averages: https://ninjatrader.com/support/foru...d=7&linkid=906

Paul, thanks for always answering.

I have those errors, how can I cast from ISeries <double> to double?

CODE:

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

And the drawing tool gives those errors but I do not know why they are.

Hello testingsarasa,

Thanks for your reply.

I am missing the context of the error messages, are these from an indicator you are working on? The Column to the left of the error messages would show the file that the errors are associated with.

What version of NinjaTrader8 are you using? (Check under Help>About).

Hello testingsarasa,

Thanks for your reply.

Can you post your entire code? If possible, please just post the .CS file as that would be easier to review.

Hello testingsarasa,

Thanks for your reply.

What are valueOpen and valueClose? I do not see them declared or assigned anywhere.

For Draw.region, which method overload are you using? Your parameter sequence (and type of) need to match the chosen overload used.

If I may suggest, you may find it easier to learn using a single data series.

My fault, sorry. I tested something and not worked haha

the line is this: Draw.Region(this, "tag1", CurrentBar, 0, Values[1][0], Values[2][0], null, Brushes.Aqua, 50);

For Draw.region, i used the example in the documentation

Hello testingsarasa,

Thanks for your reply.

The example in the helpguide is using two data series to draw between. Using Values[1][0], Values[2][0] is the same as using single values, try using DEMA(Closes[1], 5) and DEMA(Opens[1], 5)[0];

Thanks to you. I tried and it did not work with those parameters.

Hello testingsarasa,

Sorry, I made a copy/paste mistake, instead of DEMA(Opens[1], 5)[0] use DEMA(Opens[1], 5)

Compile but do not fill the area.

if(CrossAbove(DEMA(Opens[1], 5), DEMA(Closes[1], 5), 2))
{
Draw.Region(this, "tag1", CurrentBar, 0, DEMA(Opens[1], 5), DEMA(Closes[1], 5), null, Brushes.Aqua, 90, 0);
}

Hello testingsarasa,

Thanks for your reply.

I've re-created, using a single data series and it plots without issue so I suspect the issue is related to your multi time frame coding. You may need to add a BarsInProgress check, for example:

if (BarsInProgress != 0) return; // only plot on chart bars

if(CrossAbove(DEMA(Opens[1], 5), DEMA(Closes[1], 5), 2))
{
Draw.Region(this, "tag1", CurrentBar, 0, DEMA(Opens[1], 5), DEMA(Closes[1], 5), null, Brushes.Aqua, 90, 0);
}

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
