HMA (Hull Moving Average) color change

[Mexie]

Hi, does anyone know how to code the HMA, so that it changes color, say blue when it is trending up, and red when trending down?

Thanks,

Pablo

Hi Pablo,

This can be accomplished by using multiple plots. The following link is a reference sample demonstrating this concept.

Hi Ray,

That's is exactly what I am looking for, but how do I apply it to the HMA indicator?

Sorry, not too technically savvy here.

Thanks,

Pablo

Pablo,

This might not be the most elegant way to do this, but its very simple:

Just download the SampleMultiColoredPlot.zip file and extract the files.

Then edit SampleMultiColoredPlot with Tools + Edit NinjaScript.

Then do a "Save As" to rename the file (pick a new name).

Lastly, change all occurrences of "SMA" to "HMA", compile and you're done.

Best regards,

KBJ

That worked great!

Thanks KBJ

This works great for HMA (cLOSE).
What if I want to draw hma (High) and HMA(LOW) in multi color format?

When you load the indicator there is an option that lets you select Close, Median, etc. The option is called "Price type" and you can set those as you please. It is in the "Parameters" section of the indicator dialog window.

[DORAIRAJ_S@HOTMAIL.COM]

This option isa available only in the Ninja script generated standard HMA INDICATORS.
The mulicolor HMA using samplecolorplot script does not have option to select anything other than close.
Please advise.

Add this to the Initialize() section of the indicator.
PriceTypeSupported = true;

Please advise in between which line numbers should I insert the subject statement?

[NinjaTrader_Josh]

You can put it anywhere inside the Initialize() method.

For instance:
protected override void Initialize()
{
CalculateOnBarClose = false;
Overlay = true;
PriceTypeSupported = false;
}

It doesn't matter what order

Revised as per your advise.
But, the price type does not appear under the parameter as a variable for selection( open,close,high,low,etc).
Please advise.

[NinjaTrader_Josh]

Please post up your indicator file and I will take a look.

I have realised that I have not compiled the file after inserting the text.
After compilation it worked perfectly and got the price type variable under parameters.
Thanks a lot for your help.
