Hi

New to Easy Language: I am trying to shade between two moving averages.

Any one know how to do this?

Thanks.

diverdan,
Unfortunately TradeStation doesn't provide an easy way to do this. The only way that I've found is quite the pain. You must create a plot for each region you would like to shade. Under plot styles, make these plots histograms. You will have to create these plots in a certain order so that they properly color over each other. Once you have set all of your histogram plots, you will then have to re-plot the price bars, since they will be covered up by your histogram plots.

Hope this helps!

While it's nowhere near perfect, you can create at least somewhat of a shaded region quite easily, using the bar high and bar low plot types. That is, rather than plot it as a line, plot it as a bar high / bar low. Plot EMA1 as Bar High and plot EMA2 as Bar Low. These are configured via the properties window, chart style. That is, rather than choose a plot style of line, point, cross, etc., choose the bar high and bar low types.
Hope that helps.
