ma buy/sell signals

[piratelady]

can someone please code a buy/sell (green/red arrows maybe) into this code? Thank you

function preMain()
{
setPriceStudy(true);

setStudyTitle("Simple Futures MA");

setCursorLabelName("FastMA", 0);
setCursorLabelName("SlowMA", 1);
setCursorLabelName("Filter", 2);

setDefaultBarFgColor(Color.blue, 0);
setDefaultBarFgColor(Color.red, 1);
setDefaultBarFgColor(Color.green, 2);
}
function main(Price, FastAvg, SlowAvg, AvgFltr)
{
if (Price == null) Price = "Close";
if (FastAvg == null) FastAvg = 9;
if (SlowAvg == null) SlowAvg = 50;
if (AvgFltr == null) AvgFltr = 80;
var FastMA = 0.0;//Average(Price, FastAvg);
var SlowMA = 0.0;//Average(Price, SlowAvg);
var Filter = 0.0;//Average(Price, AvgFltr);
var MaxLen = 0.0;
if (MaxLen <= FastAvg) MaxLen = FastAvg;
if (MaxLen <= SlowAvg) MaxLen = SlowAvg;
if (MaxLen <= AvgFltr) MaxLen = AvgFltr;
var vPrice = getValue(Price, 0, -MaxLen);
var i = 0;
for (i = 0; i < MaxLen; i++)
{
if (i < FastAvg) FastMA += vPrice[i];
if (i < SlowAvg) SlowMA += vPrice[i];
if (i < AvgFltr) Filter += vPrice[i];
}
FastMA /= FastAvg;
SlowMA /= SlowAvg;
Filter /= AvgFltr;
return new Array(FastMA, SlowMA, Filter);
}

I can do this for you....

I can help you accomplish this, but under which conditions do you want the arrows drawn??

What would constitute a buy signal or a sell signal??

Any further input would be greatly appreciated.

ma buy/sell

Sorry Brad,
A green arrow when the 9 crosses the 50 up and a red arrow when the 9 crosses the 50 down would be fine. Also if you wouldn't mind, how to thicken the lines? They are very thin on the charts.
Thanks for your help

Code with Arrows...

Here you go...

var TrendDirection = 0;

function preMain()
{
  setPriceStudy(true);
  setStudyTitle("Simple Futures MA");
  setCursorLabelName("FastMA", 0);
  setCursorLabelName("SlowMA", 1);
  setCursorLabelName("Filter", 2);

  setDefaultBarFgColor(Color.blue, 0);
  setDefaultBarFgColor(Color.red, 1); 
  setDefaultBarFgColor(Color.green, 2);
}

function main(Price, FastAvg, SlowAvg, AvgFltr)
{
 if (Price == null) Price = "Close";
 if (FastAvg == null) FastAvg = 9;
 if (SlowAvg == null) SlowAvg = 50;
 if (AvgFltr == null) AvgFltr = 80;
 var FastMA = 0.0;//Average(Price, FastAvg);
 var SlowMA = 0.0;//Average(Price, SlowAvg);
 var Filter = 0.0;//Average(Price, AvgFltr);
 var MaxLen = 0.0;
 if (MaxLen <= FastAvg) MaxLen = FastAvg;
 if (MaxLen <= SlowAvg) MaxLen = SlowAvg;
 if (MaxLen <= AvgFltr) MaxLen = AvgFltr;
 var vPrice = getValue(Price, 0, -MaxLen);
 var i = 0;
 for (i = 0; i < MaxLen; i++)
 {
    if (i < FastAvg) FastMA += vPrice[i];
    if (i < SlowAvg) SlowMA += vPrice[i];
    if (i < AvgFltr) Filter += vPrice[i];
 }
 FastMA /= FastAvg;
 SlowMA /= SlowAvg;
 Filter /= AvgFltr;

 if ((FastMA > SlowMA) && (TrendDirection <= 0)) {
    drawShapeRelative(0,low(),Shape.UPARROW,null,Color.green,Shape.ONTOP, getValue("rawtime",0)+"BUY");
   TrendDirection = 1;  //  Bullish
 }
 if ((FastMA < SlowMA) && (TrendDirection >= 0)) {
    drawShapeRelative(0,high(),Shape.DOWNARROW,null,Color.red,Shape.ONTOP, getValue("rawtime",0)+"SELL");
   TrendDirection = -1;  //  Bullish
 }

 return new Array(FastMA, SlowMA, Filter);
}
