Two Moving Average CROS Overlay

When the shorter moving average is above the long, Candles are Green And vice versa.
The indicator was revised and updated MT4/MQ4 version viewtopic.php?f=38&t=66150

Could you possibly add VAMA to this indicator, please?

I can, I will.

Thanks a million Apprentice. I’ll be much obliged.
Also, while you’ll be at it, perhaps you could add VAMA option to the existing MA cross signal?
Code: Select all `function Init() strategy:name(resources:get(“R_Name”)); strategy:description(resources:get(“R_Description”)); strategy:setTag(“group”, “Moving Averages”); strategy:setTag(“NonOptimizableParameters”, “Email,SendEmail,SoundFile,RecurrentSound,PlaySound,ShowAlert”); strategy:type(core.Signal);

VAMA Average Added.
As for MA cross signal This is standard MA cross signal?
Re: Two Moving Average CROS Overlay
Jigit Jigit · Sun Feb 05, 2012 12:56 pm
Hi Apprentice. Thank you once again.
As for the code I pasted above (MA cross) - I found it in the “standard” folder in you know C:ProgramFiles/FXTS2/Strategies
But I would be happy with any signal alerting me of desired VAMA crossings.
Cheers

Hello I’m sorry guys for generating so much traffic around such petty things here… but could you please add colour selection to the Two Moving Average Cross Overlay (the one with VAMA), i.e. I would like to be able to choose the colour of the indicator overlaying the normal candles.
Thanks a million.

Hi, Apprentice I have a issue. Maybe you can help me? I tried to add indicator to the chart, but error appears. Not sure why?
