MA of CCI

[brutusdog]

hi 1st post here and a NT newbie, just getting to grips with the platform and importing indicators, thanks for all those who have posted them:)

i am trying to make a moving average of cci. i want to plot this in the cci window and make the cci invisible.

has anyone done this, or is some one able to assist me in doing it as im pretty stuffed without it:confused:

many thanks in advance.

You will need to custom code this as a new indicator. To do so you would pass in the CCI's DataSeries into your moving average instead of the usual price DataSeries.

File->Utilities->Import NinjaScript

Unfortunately I cannot provide further custom coding support. The indicator I attached in my previous post will act as a guideline as to how you can program it to achieve what you want.

A simple solution that requires no programming to achieve multiple plots is just to load the same indicator 4-5 times, each time with different parameter settings. Place all the indicators on Panel 2 and they will overlay each other nicely.

Josh,
I'm looking to make this CCIMA a Multi Colored MA, like your SampleMultiColoredPlot: http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/vb/showthread.php?t=3227
I might even like to use an EMA instead.

I tried to merge the two but couldn't get it to compile.
Could you help please.
Thanks

Hello,
I'm still trying to make the CCIEMA change colors like the normal multi colored EMA or SMA
I tried to marry the CCIEMA and the EMA_Multicolored and got it to compile but it doesnt plot correctly. I think it might be a simple fix...I just cant figure out how to fix it.
Any help would be great.
Please take a look.
I also attach a chart. Look at the bottom of chart. It doesnt match the with the CCIEMA (20,14) above.

Thanks

On the lines going like this:
RisingPlot.Set(1, EMA(Period)[1]);
You want to change EMA(Period) to your new plot so put in MA instead of EMA. Do this for RisingPlot, FallingPlot, and NeutralPlot.

[dwalls]

// Plot green if the EMA is rising
// Rising() returns true when the current value is greater than the value of the previous bar.
else if (Rising(EMA(Period)))
{
// Connects the rising plot segment with the other plots
RisingPlot.Set(1, MA(Period)[1]);

// Adds the new rising plot line segment to the line
RisingPlot.Set(EMA(Period)[0]);
}


Thanks Josh,
I changed the EMA to MA and get this error message so it won't compile:

Indicator\CCIEMA_MultiColored.cs 'NinjaTrader.Indicator.CCIEMA_MultiColored.MA' is a 'property' but is used like a 'method' CS0118 - click for info 57 23

also in the thumbnail below...the red line on the CCIEMA_MultiColored Indicator appears to be based on price (708.34) and the green lines is based of the indicator (-74.29)...maybe this helps some how

Thanks

dwalls,

Please review the help file for DataSeries. You need MA to be a DataSeries and you need to replace all instances of EMA with your MA wherever you are setting a plot value. Unfortunately due to bandwidth issues I cannot provide much more feedback, but hopefully that will get you in the right direction.
