Hi Tom,

We have a TRIX indicator already available in NinjaTrader - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/HelpGuideV6/MovingAverage-TripleExponentialTRIX.html

Maybe you can use this as a starting point and code your custom changes in a new version - here are our indicator programming tutorials > http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/HelpGuideV6/Overview18.html

Chartlearner,

I already built this for someone else. ( minus your changes )

Its already 90 percent done.

Just update the TRIX2.zip version to include the color changes.
