Indicator For Area Between Two Moving Averages

Anyone know where I can find an nt indicator that shades the area between two moving averages?

Thanks,

You can look at an indicator I wrote some time ago called VMA Zones to get you a code sample. It shades (drawregion) based on a moving average.

Download: VMA Zones

VMA Zones charts an upper and lower region on your chart using the VMA indicator. VMA (Variable Moving Average) adjusts to low volatility and high volatility periods automatically, by using the CMO for calculations. You can use the VMA Zones as a "Kill …

hi roonius,
any ideas for this problem :

when i import your SlingShot-zip i get an error -- remove your bad scripts -- but i have no bad errors-scripts in my ninja i can open + compile any scriopts -- there are no errors left.

then, when i try it with the pure SlingShot.cs-file i get this error : global namespace>' already contains a definition for 'maType'.

Thanks

Here is the newer version - will allow to select inputs for MAs

Roonius,

How do I add the T3Average to your slingshot indicator? I tried just to follow your format, but I think the problem is that the T3Average actually has 2 inputs - overshoot and period. I would be fine to have the overshoot a constant at .7 and be able to change the period.

case maType.VWMA:
f = VWMA(Input, FastAverage)[0];
break;
case maType.T3Average:
f = T3Average(Input, FastAverage)[0];
break;
default:
f = HMA(Input, FastAverage)[0];
break;
}

Thanks for your consideration,

Mahlon,

Try this,

case maType.T3Average:
f = T3Average(Input, .7, FastAverage)[0];
break;

RJay,

Thanks for your help. Your suggestion did allow my changes to compile.

...but it's not quite right.

Here is the indicator file and a screenshot:

The CYAN line is a 40 period T3Average, the BLUE line is a 120 period T3Average. I want to color the area between them. The skinny RED line is the T3. It kind of works, but there is a "jigger" in the middle.

This is way above me at this point!

Mahlon,

I usually use code something like this from Big Mike's VMAZone indicator.

You may need to define two DrawRegions for when the MA's cross.

Upper.Set(VMA(High, Length, Volatility)[0]);
Lower.Set(VMA(Low, Length, Volatility)[0]);

DrawRegion("Region", CurrentBar, 0, Upper, Lower, Color.Empty, Color.Gray, Opacity);
