Unicorn : what are the ma`s increments to form the rainbow from 1rst yellow all the way to the magenta ... ? thanks Walter.

are you certain that these lines of code compute

adxmin = LLV(adx, stoch_period) ;
Lowest value of adx in the last stoch_period bars ?
and
adxmax = HHV(adx, stoch_period) ;
Highest value of adx in the last stoch_period bars ?

adx in my implementation is computed on the close. (as is usually done).
Does the Ninja Trader have the HHV and LLV functions?

cheers.
Unicorn.

Hi Unicorn,

Thanks for reviewing my code, you're right I got confused with LLV and HHV.
NT hasn't got LLV or HHV, but ADX produces only 1 value per bar so it is not necessary. Otherwise can be done by MIN( Low, Period ), MAX( High, Period ).

Fortunately the glitch does not produce very different results.

Cheers and thanks

Walter;

the values I have used are also depicted in my charts, in the following notation:

In vmar_1
cyan line is: signal vmar_1(ema_periods, adx_periods)
and
red line is: rainbow base vmar_1(ema_periods, adx_periods);

Note that in vmar_1 implementation, stoch_periods = adx_periods.

In vmar_2
cyan line is: signal vmar_2(ema_periods, adx_periods, stoch_periods);
and
red line is: rainbow base vmar_2(ema_periods, adx_periods, stoch_periods);

Usually I have used:

signal vmar_2(ema_periods=3 or 4, adx_periods=4 or 5 or even 8, stoch_periods = 4 or 5 or even 8, 10)
and
rainbow base vmar_2(ema_periods=5 or 6, adx_periods=4 or 5, or even 8 stoch_periods = 4 or 5 or even 8, 10)


Take care.
Unicorn.

Thanks unicorn, mixed up the values because I compared your functions parameter's order to the values on the chart.
Looks much better now.

Take care.
Unicorn.

Ok I see... now from that base line (red line) would the rainbow averages be 2 , 4 , 6 , 8 etc until 100 ? or what numbers exactly... thanks Walter.

Sparrow;

In your code, I cannot locate where you compute the rainbow , i.e.


for (rainbow_ema_periods=2; rainbow_ema_periods <=100; rainbow_ema_periods=rainb ow_ema_periods +2)
{
rainbow_line = EMA( rainbow_base_Vidya , ema_periods) ;
plot(rainbow_line, .....);
}

please verify that this loop is correct in your code ( that may be the minor bug you mention)

best regards.
Unicorn.

Hold your horses Unicorn, one thing at a time.

I like to have the FantailVMA1 just the way it is, so it can be reused in other indicators.

I'll try to get a rainbow like thing coded today, however I'll start with a band and probably will eventually arrive at the ultimate rainbow.

We'll see how things work out. Resources are limited.

P.S.: Unfortunately I can't take your approach, it's a bit more complex on NT

Take care Blu ¡¡ cheers Walter.

Thanks Walter, I've got it working now cheers
