sam,

Only glanced, but try placing the drawarrow code above where you have it in this section instead of the lastdirection < direction section.

Code

                            
if(rising)
                {
                    RisingPlot.Set(bar + 1, val2);
                    RisingPlot.Set(bar, val1);
                    if (PaintBar)
                        BarColor = barColorUp;
                    Signal.Set(1);
                }
                else if(falling)
                {
                    FallingPlot.Set(bar + 1, val2);
                    FallingPlot.Set(bar, val1);
                    if (PaintBar)
                        BarColor = barColorDown;
                    Signal.Set(-1);
                }
                else
                {
                    NeutralPlot.Set(bar + 1, val2);
                    NeutralPlot.Set(bar, val1);
                    if (PaintBar)
                        BarColor = barColorNeutral;                    
                    Signal.Set(0);
                }

Do something like
#(rising)
if (Signal[1] != 1 && FirstTickOfBar)
DrawArrowUp()

#(falling)
if (Signal[1] != -1 && FirstTickOfBar)
DrawArrowDown

Sam,

Also that zip file has adxvma.cs with calculateonbarclose = true. Delete that line entirely. That is what is causing the 0 value line drops.

Hum, not so easy:
- removing calculateonbarclose = true in adxvma.cs -> flat line
- restoring calculateonbarclose = true in adxvma.cs -> flat line again

- restarting NT (who knows...), same thing

Anyway, I'll have a look for placing the code in the other section, but it's time for trading now

Hi,
If someone have problem with Adxvma in DMA paint, first import BigMike's ChannelThis indicator, then use this Double MA Paint, it will work, I did like this and working for me.

Sam,

Add ADXVMA to your chart directly (forget DMA for a minute). If you set to calculate on bar close in chart properties and let a new bar form, does it work? It does here, and my ADXVMA.cs has the CalculateOnBarClose line set to false.

I've tested that too, my (and yours) ADXVMA works fine with CalculateOnBarClose=false, but in a DoubleMA.
I tried to put sound/arrows somewhere else, but still have shadow arrows. Anyway, it's not too bad as it is now, with these limitations.

Then probably what is happening is the statement is evaluating to true more than once, and the draw command is using unique names (ie "Up + CurrentBar") so it is not replacing the previous arrow.

Still, the underlying issue of why it is evaluating true more than once is a bit odd. I'm sorry I've not had a chance to test on my side, maybe I can get to it later today and shed some light based on a new perspective.

Thx Sam!

Guys,

Here are two versions that I worked on yesterday.

You need to open the zip file manually, and copy contents to My Documents\NinjaTrader 6.5\bin\custom\indicators.

Then exit and re-load Ninja, or if you are technical you can Edit any indicator and re-compile.

These two zips fixed the following for me:
1) DoubleMA Paint arrows: No more multiple arrows
2) DoubleMA flatline: No more flatline

If you use ADXVMA setting of 1 it can still cause errors. But I confirmed errors with setting of 2 or above and these changes fixed it for me.

Let me know. Hopefully we can get this to a stable level and update the File Sharing section.

I did all that.
Put the files from the zips in indicators and compiled fine.
But when I uncheck calculate on bar close on 4 range it gives flatline on DoubleMaPaint.
It is ok until I step into live price past the border and it goes flatline.
If I move it back its ok but of course you cant see the current price.
Wonder if I did anything wrong?
Thanks.

Can you confirm what you mean by "uncheck" calculate on bar close? Do you mean it is true or false?

I need to know:
- Which instrument? (ES, ZN?)
- What size chart? (you said 4 range, thx)
- What exact DoubleMA Paint settings did you use (MA length and types)

That way I can test on my side again.
