@ThatManFromTexas

I can say Ive made a day out of this along with a few pts Es

but love this new appearance of my charts. Well Done!!!!!

Question, does the background changing colors off a preset 21ema? and the bollingerEMA2fptrendbyTMFT colors off 21ema too correct?

You did the SMAGradientBackground for me which is great, can I ask a little favor,could you do this background for me the same? allow color change option in settings for colors,length of MA it will color of off,,, bc I use a different color down instead of red. I can probably manage changing your EMA bollinger2FP to sma on my own

Either way Great job and Thank you

1. I am confused (don't be alarmed... happens all the time ..

) are you talking about the SMAGradientBackground or the ImageFile background?

The SMAGradient has user selectable colors.

The imagefile will pull up whatever images you put in setup, pick images whatever color you like.

2. The trend decisions are based on ...

Code

if(EMA(3)[0]>EMA(4)[0] && EMA(4)[0]>EMA(5)[0] && EMA(5)[0]>EMA(6)[0] && EMA(6)[0]>EMA(7)[0] 
&& EMA(7)[0]>EMA(8)[0] && EMA(8)[0]>EMA(9)[0] && EMA(9)[0]>EMA(10)[0] && EMA(10)[0]>EMA(11)[0] 
&& EMA(11)[0]>EMA(12)[0] && EMA(12)[0]>EMA(13)[0])
			
			fillColor = UpColor;
			
			
else  if(EMA(3)[0]<EMA(4)[0] && EMA(4)[0]<EMA(5)[0] && EMA(5)[0]<EMA(6)[0] && EMA(6)[0]<EMA(7)[0] 
&& EMA(7)[0]<EMA(8)[0] && EMA(8)[0]<EMA(9)[0] && EMA(9)[0]<EMA(10)[0] && EMA(10)[0]<EMA(11)[0] 
&& EMA(11)[0]<EMA(12)[0] && EMA(12)[0]<EMA(13)[0])
				
			fillColor = DnColor;
			
			
			else 
			
			fillColor = FtColor;

For your indicator the criteria can be changed to whatever you want. Which begs the question... "Uh... what do you want?"

Sorry TMFT for the confusion.

What i want to do is use a SMA bollinger 20-2-1deviations and have the background change colors off a moving average that I can set to my method just as your SMA Gradient does which also allows background color settings.

How do I achieve doing this?

Many thx again

@Rad4633

1. Are you going to use the imagefile instead of the gradient background?

2. Do you use more than 1 data series?

I can use smaGradient but when i change setting to change color of background (ie. red to mediumSeaGreen for my down, background stays red) ??? Also the smaGradient causes the imagefile to stop plotting once I remove smaGradient from indicator imagefile then works again displaying picture, these two dont play well together

I just realized the image file must color off the same as your 21ema, I see why the indi's were conflicting with each other now Help

2. I am only using one data string

@Rad4633

Import Rad4633SMA.zip

Indicators are;

Bollinger2FpTrend4Rad4633ByThatManFromTexas.cs

ImageFile4Rad4633ByThatManFromTexas.cs

They are based on > or < SMA(Period)

I left the Flat fields in case you change your criteria in the future. You can ignore them.

Be sure to put the complete file path in the setup for the imagefile.

Thank you so much and I assume I go into ie. photoshop reshade(color) my image to match my color selection in my bollingers....

this turned out PERFECT...thank you again- one and only TMFT

@Rad4633

1. I used Adobe Elements (came with the computer)/Enhance /Adjust Color/Adjust Hue/Saturation and changed the Hue only.

2. You can start with the Space image I posted and adjust the hue on it.

2. You don't have to use the same image. You can download any images you like that are the color you want.

@lolu

I edited the BollingerEMA to change the region color in sync with the trend just like the ImageFile.

You're welcome

@TMFT,

Can we have a little more from you ... for the BB to change its region color at the point of trend change (momentary, short-term and long-term trend changes) and still maintaining its previous color trend changes (see the screenshot below ... you'll note that the previous green region is maintained even when the red region forms).
