Can anybody please, help me out here?

I am trying to set up the ROC of an EMA indicator.

I had a sample link where they use it but I can't post links yet.

Thank you.

go to ROC setting and change its input to EMA, an example

Want your NinjaTrader indicator created, free? actually ninja already has stddev indicator you just need to point input setting to ATR like so

I already tried that but I can't add EMA to the Inputs scroll box?

Is that even possible?

Here is a working example of the ROC EMA indicator Iam trying to get going:

There must be a way ...

Is it something like this?

algoeric Jun 18, 2013 Here's my rendition of a rate of change script. Plots the rate of change for the 5 period and the 252 period with some EMA smoothing.

thanks but not exactly I think

here is a working sample of what I am looking for:

https://www.whselfinvest.com/en/trading_strategies_03_rocema.php

On the actual page they show it with a basic line that changes color. If you click on the EXPLANATORY VIDEO
link you will see it again, this time with a HISTOGRAM kind of setting...

Basically I need a ROC for an EMA of 16 time periods.
