(Req) Changing barcolour on macd crossing or above 0 line

[⭐ Gambler67]

Hi Guys,

 

Does anyone have an mt4 indicator that changes the bar colour with macd crossing or crossing especially above the 0 line.

 

I have searched in our forum but cannot find one. I think it is being used by someone called hoietkeer in emini trading

 

Thanks

Do you mean the candle body is shaded to the colours of the 4 conditions ?

[shabz]

I have found this indicator, Macd Candles V3 it paints the candlesticks as per the conditions of Macd, however I find only the the 2 colours in the inputs 4 Lime & 7 Red of any value set at thickness 5, the other input colours can be left at 0 or 1.

 

However these settings do not remain when changing timeframes and these settings cannot be saved as a template. Anyone can look at the code & alter it please.

 

The indicator is here:

You proboblt looking for this....I'm in the search for these for same time but can't find it anyvhere

 

It's used by rockwell...and work like this-when the macd line is above the signal line and above the zero line bars on chart ar colored in green,and reverse-if the macd is below the signal line and below the zero line bars are colred in red.If one of those two conditions is not achived bars are black(ex.macd is above signal line but below the zero).

 

They also uses RSI and works like this-when te line is above level 70 the little green triangle will be printed below the bar on the chart,and when the line is below level 30 red triangle will be printed above the bar.Period for rsi is 7,if that is important.

 

Reason why I axplain how it's works is because ,maybe somebody can code indicator for as,or maybe even EA for those who like EAs,I personaly prefer indicator.

Hi Shabz, Yes the candle or bar shaded to the 4 conditions

[⭐ Gambler67]

Thanks Shabz, this almost works only the candles go back to their original thickness on TF change. If only someone could tweak it.

Thanks masterdeki, that is what I am looking for. The one shabz gave is very close but needs tweaking.

[shabz]

masterdeki's version is for tradestation I think, the metatrader version does need tweaking, the main one being that the colour settings does not hold when changing TimeFrames.

 

Any genius programmers out there can look at the code please ?

 

What I do like about this version is the MTF display, when you have at least the first 3 colours matching, the move will be significant.

spelling

I have found a cheat by changing the colours of the Macd candles to white (background) for the Maroon & Dark Green, so I only get the conditions showing for Lime & Red, which are the colours that I am reacting to anyway and that seems to work when changing timeframes.

If someone knows how to do it properly with metaeditor, please let me know.

Can anybody look at the code and tell me how to stop indicator colour thickness settings from going back to default. Tried looking at the code but can't see where to change the colour thickness settings.

 

Help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Hello shabz, I tried to change thickness in the code, but when I tried to recompile, it says changes not allowed. Do you think file is protected?

[shabz]

I don't think the file is protected, it's the way the code is written. The alteration needs to be made where "Set Index Style" line is, I have tried but failed here. It does compile but with errors.
