VWAP - up/down color change

[toddaclark]

I use the following indicator code on my tradestation 233 tick chart.
[LegacyColorValue = true];
{ VWAP MA }
input:
Price(AvgPrice),length(25),upColor(cyan),dnColor(r ed);
vars:
it(0);
it = VWAP_SMA(Price,length);
plot1(it,"VWAP MA");
if plot1 > plot1[1] then setplotcolor(1,upColor);
if plot1 < plot1[1] then setplotcolor(1,dnColor);

Can someone tell me how to code this in Ninja?

Josh,

Thanks for your reply. I downloaded the indicator that you mentioned in your post.

That indicator seems to use SMA. How can I change it to be VWMA instead of SMA?

Also, how do I get the candles above VWAP to paint blue and the candles below VWAP to paint red?

toddaclark,

The link I referred you to is a reference sample. You can make changes you want to it however you see fit. If you don't want to use SMA just replace it with whatever you do want to use.

You will need to program yourself an indicator that checks the VWAP and then colors the candles. To color the candles you want to use BarColor.

if (some condition)
BarColor = Color.Red;

take a look at the MACDUpDown code to see how to color it

another idea would be to set some public boolean properties within VWAP (you'd have to recode VWAP to do this) ... and then you could load up a VWAP in your indicator and do what Josh said to color the candles accordingly by accessing those properties

eg. in your new indicator:
if (myVWAP.IsSomething == true) { BarColor = Color.Red; }
elseif (myVWAP.IsSomethingElse == true) { BarColor = Color.Green; }
