Thank you for your help master cja.

Thanks man, you saved me.

Hi cja,

Thank you for the sexy MA candle.

If you not mind, could you make Alligator Candle.

Refer to the picture if the candle close above the gold line(lips alligator)-The color candle should be blue.

If the candle close below the gold line the color candle should be red.

Thanks.

Thank you CJA...i realy love to have ur indicators on my chart...
it makes live trading easier..
THANK YOU

Hi
Just set this indicator to do what you require

1st the PRICE MA this way

1/ MA1 = 1; MAI_MODE = 0; MAI_PRICE = 0;

2nd The ALLIGATOR line this way

2/ MA2 = 5; MA2_MODE = 2; MA2_PRICE = 4;

Then go into the code and change this line ( Line 97 Col 4 )

From this
double MA_2 (int i = 0){return(iMA(NULL,0,MA1,0,MA1_MODE, MA1_PRICE,i));}

Tothis
double MA_2 (int i = 0){return(iMA(NULL,0,MA2,3,MA2_MODE, MA2_PRICE,i));}

Changing the 0 to 3 will give you the correct shift value for the Alligator line

Any problems let me know

nice looking indi, thanks for that. I'll have a look too see how to manage whipsaw

Sorry my fault i set you up with the wrong alligator line try the amended settings above. I set up the cross of the SMMA13 instead of the SMMA5
with a shift of 3 not 8.

NOTE I have altered the indicator inputs so that now the shift can be accessed without going into the code.

extern string IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII=">>> MA Settings >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>";
extern int MA1 = 1;
extern int MA2 = 5;
extern int MA1_MODE = 0;
extern int MA2_MODE = 2;
extern int MA1_PRICE = 0;
extern int MA2_PRICE = 4;
extern int MA1_SHIFT = 0;
extern int MA2_SHIFT = 3;

Thanks a lot cja.

Now the correct setting is found.

Thanks a lot for the indicator cja. It should definitely be very very helpful. But if you look at the attached pic, I have put in the MA levels I am using in the indicator. As you can see, there seems to be something wrong. Looking forward to your reply.

REgards,
K.
