XMA INDICATOR QUESTION PLEASE HELP
insomniawawa:
This indicator has 5 parameters, but I only know period parameter. Could you explain me how work the rest (Porog, metod, metod2, prise)?
Additional question: How can change this indicator that it draws line in 2 colours? I know that I should change
tmp1=iMA(Symbol(),0,period,0,metod,prise,i); tmp2=iMA(Symbol(),0,period,1,metod2,prise,i); if(MathAbs(tmp1-tmp2)>=porog*Point){
- double iMA( string symbol, int timeframe, int period, int ma_shift, int ma_method, int applied_price, int shift) so metod/metod2 are the method, prise is the applied price and porog is how many points the current and secondary must differ or the line doesn't change.
- There is only one buffer, you'll have to add a second, decide what the two colors represent and fill each approprately. Look at any colored indicator to see how it's down.
- Use SRC
- No Slaves here, learn to code or pay someone. We're not going to code it FOR you. We are willing to HELP you.
Thank you for your help! I only don't understand one thing, there are two methods and both are used at the same time. What's the difference between them?

Hi,
I found free indicator called XMA, I've noticed that it can be very useful, but unfortunatelly I'm totally green in MQL4.
This indicator has 5 parameters, but I only know period parameter. Could you explain me how work the rest (Porog, metod, metod2, prise)?
Please, expain me in plain english.
Additional question: How can change this indicator that it draws line in 2 colours? I know that I should change
"#property indicator_buffers 1
#property indicator_color1 Blue"
in
"#property indicator_buffers 2
#property indicator_color1 Blue
#property indicator_color2 Red"
,but that's not all.
Best regards!
