Hi Guys,

See if this is what you wanted.

Repainting feature has been commented out.

EMA_Colors_V2, SMA_Colors_V2, WMA_Colors_V2

EMA_Colors is displayed on the chart. Bottom panel is the new version.

Just a thought,

I know that these are not my indicators, But if they were, I would add an Integer variable to adjust the EMA/SMA/WMA indicator data collection lengths.

EX. EMA is locked in at 34 bars. I would want to be able to adjust that.

Actually, the problem is in just one line.

ema34slope = (int)(radToDegrees*(Math.Atan((EMA(34)[0]-(EMA(34)[1]+EMA(34)[2])/2)/1.5/TickSize)));

In my version it has EMA(period) not 34. The EMA Colors had 34 but the EMA paint has period. This is why Jeff said the new one worked better but he didn't know why. It's cause it uses period instead of a hardcoded 34.

Here's an example of how not to trade ES!

2 BE trades is ok (first would have been profitable but was taking too long)
1 Winner

and then I tried trading a trading range, going short above trendline, etc.
Really stupid. I'm on sim and I think tha'ts the problem, I'm not taking it as seriously as I would with real money on the line.

Thanks RJay for this fix.....I was wondering why the HMA was not included?

Also, I like your idea on improving this indicator .....are you undertaking this task?

I'm hoping so.

Thanks, Jeff

Hi Jeff,

I like bars so I made a EMA Colors bars version with the EMA slope period variable.

Really appreciate it RJay!

Your ema colors v3 at (Close,30,60,5,5) seems to work better for me than using the sma colors paint v01 at (Close30,60,3).

Plus I have a lot more confidence in the signal since it doesn't repaint.

For trend I use your ema colors v3 at (Close,30,60,20,20) for the same reasons.
