Not sure if this is what you're looking for but @Sylvester17 posted this version back in 2014 that has mutltiple MA choices including a WMA.
Trade well,

Thanks for that but I do have that one. I'm looking for a zerolag WMA that changes colors with slope. i believe this one is a standard WMA.

If by standard you mean color change based on Rising / Falling you are correct.
My mistake you did ask for Slope.
I thought you might make the change yourself by replacing this code with your own Slope criteria.:
if (Values[0][0] > Values[1][0])
{
PlotColors[0][0] = maColorUp;
PlotColors[1][0] = maColorUp1;
}
else if (Values[0][0] < Values[1][0])
{
PlotColors[0][0] = maColorDown;
PlotColors[1][0] = maColorDown1;
}
else
{
PlotColors[0][0] = PlotColors[0][1];
PlotColors[1][0] = PlotColors[1][1];
}
With your own Slope criteria.

Alas I am not that gifted and I'm looking for a zero lag version of the WMA in addition to the slope color change. Thanks for your help and taking the time to reply.

Do you have another indicator that you think is "Zero Lag"?
WMA by it's nature is "almost" zero lag, but I'm not certain what you're looking for.

You might be right. I have tried zero EMA, HMA, TEMA and came close to what I'm trying to emulate with the WMA. Was thinking that a zero lag WMA might bring me closer, that's all. Sorry to be such a bother.

You're not being a bother, I'm just trying to understand what you're looking for.
I'm not sure what you mean by "closer", closer to what?
[I have to assume too much based on your post. Clarity always helps.]
I'll help if I can.
TEMA - is this a Tillson EMA? [That's virtually a zero lag indicator]
HMA - if this is a Hull MA [This would be close to zero lag as well]
Let me know,

Please help keep the forum organized.
Either use the existing "Want your indicator created free" thread:
Or, use the appropriate forum section (NinjaTrader ).
I have moved the thread.
