Lionel,
1.The ZeroLag Ema is an indicator that can be found at the Guppy site.
2.An indicator plots on a price...ie; a 3day simple moving average
3.An oscillator plots above and below a known value or trigger line...ie;
the Williams %R above and below -50 while the CCI oscillates above and below
0.
4.In order to get 2 different colors you will need to plot 2 oscillators...a
positive oscillator with the up color(green) and a negative oscillator with
the down color(red). To make a positive and negative oscillator, open the
Indicator Builder and Edit the desired oscillator. Now go to the last
statements of the formula. Usually you will see a statement that states if
pos. plot 1, else plot -1. For a positive oscillator change the last
statement to else plot 0. Change the name of the oscillator to read
"whatever positive" and save the new oscillator. The negative oscillator is
a little different in that you will need to change the positive statement to
read 0 and allow the negative side of the original oscillator to remain the
same. So in the statement above you would need for it to read if pos. plot
0. Remember to change the name to "whatever negative". Now you will have 3
oscillators...the original, the positive oscillator, and the negative
oscillator. Not all oscillators will be this easy but I think you get the
idea. Hope this helps.
