I have TS, so here's the code you can add to MC.

Zero Lag EMA function. Save it as "_ZeroLagEMA"

 
Code
{
Zero Lag EMA

from the NT version

            EMA ema1 = EMA(Input, Period);
            double difference = ema1[0] - EMA(ema1, Period)[0];
            ZLEMA.Set(ema1[0] + difference);
            
}
input: price(NumericSeries),
        period(NumericSimple);


Value1 = XAverage(price, period);
// diff
Value2 = value1[0] - XAverage(value1, period);
// zlema
Value3 = value1 + value2;

_ZeroLagEMA = value3;
ADXVMA function (also found elsewhere on nexusfi.com (formerly BMT)). Save it as "ADXVMA".

 
Code
// Big Mike Trading https://nexusfi.com
// April 17 2010
// Converted from NinjaTrader version, original author unknown
// Function

inputs:     
    Price (NumericSeries),
    Length (NumericSimple);

vars:
    TR(0),
    DI_Diff(0),
    DI_Sum(0),
    ma(0),
    pdm(0),
    mdm(0),
    pdi(0),
    mdi(0), 
    DI_Factor(0), 
    VI(0), 
    diff(0), 
    HHV(0), 
    LLV(0),
    WeightDM(Length), 
    WeightDI(Length), 
    WeightDX(Length),
    ChandeEMA(Length),
    out(0),
    j(0);

once ma=Price;    

if(Price>Price[1]) then pdm=Price-Price[1] else mdm=Price[1]-Price;//This array is not displayed.

pdm=((WeightDM-1)*pdm[1] + pdm)/WeightDM;//ema.
mdm=((WeightDM-1)*mdm[1] + mdm)/WeightDM;//ema.

TR=pdm+mdm;

if (TR>0) then begin    pdi=pdm/TR; mdi=mdm/TR; end
 else begin
    pdi=0;
    mdi=0;
end;

pdi=((WeightDI-1)*pdi[1] + pdi)/WeightDI;//ema.
mdi=((WeightDI-1)*mdi[1] + mdi)/WeightDI;//ema.
DI_Diff=pdi-mdi;
  
if (DI_Diff<0) then  DI_Diff= -DI_Diff;//Only positive momentum signals are used.

DI_Sum=pdi+mdi;
DI_Factor=0;//Zero case, DI_Diff will also be zero when DI_Sum is zero.

if (DI_Sum>0) then out=DI_Diff/DI_Sum else out=0;

out=((WeightDX-1)*out[1] + out)/WeightDX;
//HHV = highest(out, length+1);
//LLV = lowest(out, length+1);

if (out>out[1]) then begin HHV=out; LLV=out[1]; end 
 else begin
    HHV=out[1];
    LLV=out;
end;

for j = 1 to Length-1 begin    
    if(out[j+1]>HHV)then HHV=out[j+1];
    if(out[j+1]<LLV) then LLV=out[j+1];
end;

diff = HHV - LLV;
VI=0;

if (diff>0) then  VI=(out-LLV)/diff;
          
ma=((ChandeEMA-VI)*ma[1]+VI*Price)/ChandeEMA;//Chande VMA formula with ema built in.

ADXVMA = ma;
The indicator itself.

 
Code
{
MACD using the ZeroLag EMA function and ADXVMA function.

}

input: price(close),
       fast(12),
       slow(26),
       smoothing(9),
       threshold(0),  // amount past zero line it needs to cross to trigger
       acceleration(1);  // 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2.0
vars:
    fastEMA(0),
    diff(0),
    macd1(0),
    macdAvg2(0),
    adxvma1(0),
    signal(0);
    
value1 = fast/acceleration; //
value2 = slow/acceleration; // 
fastEma = _ZeroLagEMA(price, value1) - _ZeroLagEMA(price, value2);

macdAvg2 = _ZeroLagEMA(fastEMA, smoothing);
adxvma1= ADXVMA(fastEMA, value1);
diff = fastEMA - macdAvg2;

Plot1(fastEMA, "MACD");
Plot2(macdAvg2, "Avg");
Plot8(0, "MACD_");
Plot3(diff, "Diff");  //histogram
Plot5(0, "MACD Up");
Plot6(0, "MACD Down");
Plot7(0, "MACD Neutral");

noPlot(5);
noPlot(6);
noPlot(7);

//todo - add alers on the threshold 
if fastEMA > adxvma1 and fastEMA > threshold then begin
    setPlotColor(8, getPlotcolor(5));
end else if fastEMA < adxvma1 and fastEMA < -threshold then begin
    setPlotColor(8, getPlotcolor(6));
end else begin
    setPlotColor(8, getPlotcolor(7));
end;
I did not add the alerts for the signals. If you want it, let me know and I'll add it. Also included a screen shot.

Hello big Mike,

Do you or anyone have changed the code for the indicator MACD zero lag colors for Ninja Trader 6.5 to Ninja trader 7.xx?? I've been looking for that indicator every where and couldn't find it.

Thanks,
Alan

Hello Big Mike!

This indicator looks great!
But, I am not able to correct the "Compile error" for both functions in MC:
for "_ZeroLagEMA":
------ Compiled with error(s): ------
Compile error
line 0, column 0

For "ADXVM":
------ Compiled with error(s): ------
Compile error
line 0, column 0

What the hell is it, please?

Thank you very much for your support!

Best regards.

Vinchente,

maybe your errors are related to this: errLine_0,_errColumn_0,_errLineEnd_0,_errColumnEnd_0. In case this doesn't help you, you will likely have to contact Multicharts support via their chat.

Regards,
ABCTG
