When the shorter moving average is above the long, Candles are Green

Could you possibly add VAMA to this indicator, please?

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);

    strategy.parameters:addGroup(resources:get("R_ParamGroup"));

    strategy.parameters:addInteger("FastN", resources:get("R_FastN"), "", 5);
    strategy.parameters:addInteger("SlowN", resources:get("R_SlowN"), "", 20);

    strategy.parameters:addString("Method", resources:get("R_Smooth"), "", "MVA");
    strategy.parameters:addStringAlternative("Method", "MVA", "", "MVA");
    strategy.parameters:addStringAlternative("Method", "EMA", "", "EMA");
    strategy.parameters:addStringAlternative("Method", "LWMA", "", "LWMA");

    strategy.parameters:addString("Type", resources:get("R_PriceType"), "", "Bid");
    strategy.parameters:addStringAlternative("Type", resources:get("R_Bid"), "", "Bid");
    strategy.parameters:addStringAlternative("Type", resources:get("R_Ask"), "", "Ask");

    strategy.parameters:addString("Period", resources:get("R_PeriodType"), "", "t1");
    strategy.parameters:setFlag("Period", core.FLAG_PERIODS);

    strategy.parameters:addGroup(resources:get("R_SignalGroup"));

    strategy.parameters:addBoolean("ShowAlert", resources:get("R_ShowAlert"), "", true);
    strategy.parameters:addBoolean("PlaySound", resources:get("R_PlaySound"), "", false);
    strategy.parameters:addBoolean("RecurrentSound", resources:get("R_RecurrentSound"), "", false);
    strategy.parameters:addFile("SoundFile", resources:get("R_SoundFile"), "", "");
    strategy.parameters:setFlag("SoundFile", core.FLAG_SOUND);
    strategy.parameters:addBoolean("SendEmail", resources:get("R_SENDEMAIL"), "", false);
    strategy.parameters:addString("Email", resources:get("R_EMAILADDRESS"), resources:get("R_EMAILADDRESSDESCR"), "");
    strategy.parameters:setFlag("Email", core.FLAG_EMAIL);
end

local SoundFile;
local RecurrentSound;
local FastMA, SlowMA;
local BUY, SELL;
local gSource = nil;        -- the source stream
local SendEmail, Email;

function Prepare(onlyName)
    local FastN, SlowN;

    -- collect parameters
    FastN = instance.parameters.FastN;
    SlowN = instance.parameters.SlowN;
   
    --set name
    local name = profile:id() .. "(" .. instance.bid:instrument()  .. "(" .. instance.parameters.Period  .. ")" .. "," .. FastN  .. "," .. SlowN .. ")";
    instance:name(name);
    if onlyName then
        return;
    end

    assert(FastN < SlowN, resources:get("R_MvaParamError"));

    ShowAlert = instance.parameters.ShowAlert;

    local PlaySound = instance.parameters.PlaySound;
    if PlaySound then
        SoundFile = instance.parameters.SoundFile;
        RecurrentSound = instance.parameters.RecurrentSound;
    else
        SoundFile = nil;
        RecurrentSound = false;
    end

    assert(not(PlaySound) or (PlaySound and SoundFile ~= ""), resources:get("R_SoundFileError"));

    SendEmail = instance.parameters.SendEmail;
    if SendEmail then
        Email = instance.parameters.Email;
    else
        Email = nil;
    end
    assert(not(SendEmail) or (SendEmail and Email ~= ""), resources:get("R_EmailAddressError"));

   
    gSource = ExtSubscribe(1, nil, instance.parameters.Period, instance.parameters.Type == "Bid", "close");

    FastMA = core.indicators:create(instance.parameters.Method, gSource, FastN);
    SlowMA = core.indicators:create(instance.parameters.Method, gSource, SlowN);

   
    --localization
    BUY = resources:get("R_BUY")
    SELL = resources:get("R_SELL")
    ExtSetupSignal(resources:get("R_Name") .. ":", ShowAlert);
    ExtSetupSignalMail(name);       
end

-- when tick source is updated
function ExtUpdate(id, source, period)
    -- update moving average
    FastMA:update(core.UpdateLast);
    SlowMA:update(core.UpdateLast);

    if period < 1 or not(SlowMA.DATA:hasData(period - 1)) then
        return ;
    end

   if core.crossesOver(FastMA.DATA, SlowMA.DATA, period) then
        ExtSignal(gSource, period, BUY, SoundFile, Email, RecurrentSound);               
   elseif core.crossesOver(SlowMA.DATA, FastMA.DATA, period) then
        ExtSignal(gSource, period, SELL, SoundFile, Email, RecurrentSound);
   end
end

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?
