I am trying to use the JMA paintbar. However, I would only like to see the slope painted and not the bars. Seems like the yellow bars stay yellow for long periods and do not change colors for long time. Could someone possibly re-code this to do that. The indicator is in the download section under Ninjatrader. Thank you.

Sure, here is an attached JMA that colors Up and Down separately.

I've not tested it so am posting here. Once a few people confirm it works we can move it to the download section.

Mike,

I think it is called JMA, when I import it into Ninja and in the Indicator box(instead of JMA Updown). My other question was, could this JMA have the EMA flat in it (the yellow part of the slope) like the JMA paintbar? That would help alot.

Sorry for multiple quotes Mike.

Thanks,
-Keep

It is called JMA. I am not sure what you had before.

As for flat, JMA is never flat in my experience so there is no need for this plot.

For some reason, this post sent me off to do a bit of research... and to get right to the point here, the JMA doesn't ever actually become "flat" -- from everything that I've been looking at, anyhow. Even when pulling up a chart and arranging a series of perfectly flat Renko bars, the JMA still finds a way to jiggle around.

Over at the Jurik website, they have created a wide array of tools (all for $ale, of course), but the descriptions for what the JMA (and its many variants) contain includes terms such as lag, momentum, noise elimination, smoothing, "composite fractal behavior," "arguments," "creative adapting..." you get the idea. There may be some particular way to arrange a perfect set of circumstances where you can get the JMA to get flat -- I don't even pretend to grasp all of the underlying math in there -- but it seems as if the JMA in NinjaTrader doesn't ever actually get flat.

I suspect that the JMA in NinjaTrader is a simple, low-cost version of the JMA -- they clearly have some MUCH MORE complex versions of it.

Mike, is there any way to simply access the color change from within a strategy? Probably there's some simple answer, I'm just not seeing it.
