Background

This simple indicator, paints the background depending on whether the chosen indicator is rising or falling. This will help you have fewer indicators / oscillator on the chart.
TrendStop is available here. viewtopic.php?f=17&t=12728&hilit=TREND+STOP
Up
- Indicator > 2. Indicator Down
- Indicator < 2. Indicator else Neutral
Candle Overlay version. viewtopic.php?f=17&t=65957&p=118739#p118739

Hi Apprentice! How can we convert this to a strategy? This looks promising combined with other indicators for filtering..

This is not a classic indicator. Strategies typically include one or more indicators. Therefore, development of a strategy based on this indicator does not make sense.
If I’m wrong, convince me otherwise.
You can find two strategy that could help you Composite and Strategy Builder.

Hmmmm… But based on your sample thumbnail. Its a moving average indicator your basing it from. That’s just what I needed. A simple moving average that determines the rising and falling for buy and sell. Tried to simulate the result via two moving averages cross. But the results are not the same as this background. Near, but not the same.
There’s something wrong with the strategy builder. Got errors when running it.
Thanks!

Hi Apprentice
Could you add heikin ashi filter with the ability to select heikin ashi time frames so if I have a 5min chart open I can use a 1 hour or 4hour heikin ashi background..
Thanks

Hi Apprentice
Is it possible to remove the neutral color on the background filter because it too much on the eye’s! Just green or red depending up or down would be great thanks!

Hello I like this a lot, indeed helps have less indicators on charts Can you provide a version of Background with the following change: Instead of coloring based on slope, let choose 2 indicators, and color based on whether the choosen stream of choosen indicator is less than or greater than another choosen stream of another indicator.
Example: Indicator_1.Stream1[i] > Indicator_2.Stream3[i]
Instead of Indicator_1.[i] > Indicator_1[i-1]
