Hi All,

First of all please forgive me if I ask stupid questions or questions you may think are very simple to answer. I am not a programmer or from a computer background, I am however trying to learn how to code ninjascript. So bare with me.

When trading I use a number of indicators but primaraly work from EMA crossovers, how difficult would it be to code an indicator that shows the current time frame (lets say 5min) with an EMA of 15/30 that goes red when crossed bellow and green when above.

As well as that have indicator lines at the bottom of the chart that do the same for 15min,30min,60min and 120min.

When each crosses the colour turns either red or green.

If someone can share some code that I could work from or give me a few pointers then I can try and make a start.

Thanks all.

Ryan

If you don't have a multi-time frame EMA already, I suggest you search on attachments for VisualEMA. Slingshot and EMAcrossEMA can help with the crossover coloring.
