Help with Creating a 9/30 Crossover Paintbar Indicator

Recommended Posts

I have no coding experience with TradeStation, so I'm not sure if I can do this. I'd like to create a paintbar indicator that will change candle colors when the 9ema crosses the 30wma. Blue when the 9ema crosses above the 30wma, and red when the reverse occurs. Is it possible to do, and if so how would I go about getting started to figure it out?

If {yourMA1} > {yourMA2} then PlotPB(H,L,O,C,"Long",Blue) else PlotPB(H,L,O,C,"Short",Red);

 

This eats up Plot1-4, so if you want to plot the MAs from the same indicator code you'll have to start with Plot5({yourMA},"MA");

 

I haven't used TS in ages, but back in the day it would only allow 4 plots per indicator. I'm assuming they've gotten beyond this by now.

TS has one built in on the platform

Look for under paintbar studies.

You will see paint bar study MA Avg crossover.

Just plot and change the lengths of the MA to what you like

Hi Disco,

pgain is correct,

 

If you still find difficulties in finding the code, here it is.. just copy and paste it into a new paintbar.

 

inputs: 
Price( Close ), 
FastLength( 7 ), 
SlowLength( 14 ), 
UpColor( Cyan ), 
DnColor( Blue ) ;

variables: 
FastAvg( 0 ), 
SlowAvg( 0 ) ;

FastAvg = Average( Price, FastLength ) ;
SlowAvg = Average( Price, SlowLength ) ;

if FastAvg > SlowAvg then 
begin
PlotPaintBar( High, Low, "MACross", UpColor ) ;
Alert( "FastAvg above SlowAvg" ) ;
end
else if FastAvg < SlowAvg then
begin
PlotPaintBar( High, Low, "MACross", DnColor ) ;
Alert( "FastAvg below SlowAvg" ) ;
end
else
NoPlot( 1 ) ; { unpaint the bar }

Looking forward to help you to achieve your trading Goals ..

 

Good Luck,

Easytrader_I.

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!
