Requested by VIP user. This ADXVMA adds the ability to not re-paint 1 bar back if the plot style is not a line. So if you use Lines, they will repaint to connect the plots (like normal). But if you use something else, like Dots, they will not repaint.

Thank you Mike..Just downloaded it. It works great. So in order to use it in the strategy, I have to adjust the parameters to dot instead of line for plotting. The SMI2 that I have been using was the one from the download section. Does that need to re-programmed or can I just use the same but change the lines to dots? Sorry if it sounds stupid!

Same SMI2 but this one won't repaint if you use a plot other than Line. If you use line, it will repaint 1 bar back to connect plots (like normal). But if you use something else, like a dot, it won't repaint.

No -- in a strategy, for ADXVMA, use the Signal dataseries. If signal=1 it's rising, if -1 it's falling. If you want some other info out of it it's not available in present code form.
Using dots (instead of lines) will prevent it from repainting 1 bar back in time. It doesn't effect the Signal dataseries.
For SMI2 -- it has to be re-coded. I just made the change for you (above post). Changing the plot style to dots will not work unless the code is specifically designed to work that way, and afaik, 99% of code out there isn't designed this way. I'm building it in to all my custom work going forward.
Not agree - they are !
SMI2 == StochMomIndex // SMI2 then was the evolution to the colored-version ADXVMA-Alert == native good old simple ADXVMA // ADXVMA-alert then was the evolution to the diamond-alert-versions after the evolution to the multicoloredversion - lol
these colorful tweaked indies are so present+around here that most of the guys even dont know where they came from i think
In Ninjatrader 7, multi color plotting is accomplished by changing the color of one plot, rather than by switching between different plots and connecting them with line segments that repaint.
This is a big improvement over Ninjatrader 6.5!
In the Ninjatrader forums, the "MultiColor Plot Approach" thread deals with this subject. To find it, just do a keyword search for the quoted phrase, as I was unable to post the link.
Post #1 in that thread links to sample code showing how to use this new type of multi-color plotting.
Post #23 in that thread links to sample code showing how to create parameterized, user definable colors to use in multi color plots.
