Notes

Color Fill - MA1 + MA2 is built on the core code of Custom Moving Average Indicator Copyright © 2004, MetaQuotes Software Corp.

The original Indicator code does not include a Price Inputs Variable and Close is the default price. A Price Inputs Variable has been added and includes Value parameters: Close, Open, High, Low and Median.

Accuracy of Price coding can be checked by placing on chart a standard MT4 Moving Average (Insert → Indicators → Trend → Moving Average) to serve as a Test Component and comparing overlay of MA1 and MA2 against the Test Component. The below parameters table includes all 20 test combinations.

e.g. Set the Test Component to SMA → Close and MA1 to SMA → Close. Both moving Averages should overlay exactly for the full length of the MA line. Home and End keyboard buttons can be use to locate the start and end of the MA line (ensure that Auto Scroll is inactive). Complete the table for MA1 and MA2. The author's checks cover 2006-Mar-09 to 2013-Jul-09.

The Inputs Shift Variable can be checked in a similar manner by comparing MA1 and MA2 shift parameters against the Test Component.
