You might ask @cbritton, he has done a lot of conversions in the past. If you get it converted, be sure to share it in the Downloads section.

I actually started work on translating that one some time ago but stopped. I believe there was some limitation with think script at the time. Since then, ToS put out updates to think script but I never went back to fixing the port.

I can take another look at it.

I uploaded my latest fix. The indicator is in the elite download section. Another snapshot included here.

Let me know if you find any issues with it.

Thx again.
Plz excuse my English.
I am looking for good filter for my PA system i'm trying to build. This one - ADXVMA is best so far. Basic rules are to look for reversal patterns only when ADXVMA is yellow and when trending up/dn to look only for continuation patterns. I see small difference between Ninja and TOS versions but it is ok.

Another very good trend filter is "Slope Directional Line" but i cant find it neither for Ninja or TOS just for MT4.

I have noticed a slight difference as well between the TradeStation version and the ToS version. The design for this indicator has a very small starting initial value (0?) and then gets closer to the price as time goes on. If you go to the first bar on the left, you will see what I mean. I don't know if the NT version has this same feature since I don't use NT anymore. I think the initial value should start with the close but I'm not sure where in the code I should start making changes. If time permits, I will try and make this adjustment. Anyways, as more bars are added, the closer to price the ADXVMA gets. With a lot of bars, the error difference between the EL version and the ToS version gets small.

In regards to the slope directional line, I found the mq4 version. It looks like this is all the indicator is:

(2 * WeightedAverage[period/2](close)) – WeightedAverage[period](close)

I'll try to poke around with this one, but without something to compare it to (I don't use meta trader), I won't know if it's right or not.
