Thanks for your reply. I regret it is not possible to do within just one line.

Correct me, if I am not right.

"Last" refers to price on close of the bar, so the first available value is on the last bar, which is "1".

To access price value on current bar, you could use "lastvalue", which you rather would not need.

Yes, aren't your entries mistaken?

Are you still happy with the strategy?

Maybe you can flag it with an integer variable named e.g."myEvents" with "0" as default value.

If the first condition is met, the value of "myEvents" changes to "1".

If both conditions are met, the value of "myEvents" changes to "2".

If "myEvents" equals "1" send an email: "First condition met".

If "myEvents" equals "2" send an email: "First and second condition met" and change the value back to "0".

Spotware has made cAlgo user friendly, so there is no need to have extensive knowledge about C#, to deal with basics.

Learn just what you need and you are going to be fine.

Use Last(2) instead of Last(1) and Last(1) instead of LastValue?

RE:

You can do it like this:

using System;
using cAlgo.API;
using cAlgo.API.Internals;
using cAlgo.API.Indicators;
using cAlgo.Indicators;

namespace cAlgo
{
    [Indicator(IsOverlay = true, TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC, AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]
    public class NewIndicator : Indicator
    {
        private DirectionalMovementSystem adx;

        protected override void Initialize()
        {
            adx = Indicators.DirectionalMovementSystem(yourPeriod);
        }

        public override void Calculate(int index)
        {
            if (adx.ADX.LastValue > 20)
            {
                ChartObjects.DrawText("Alert", "ADX above 20!", StaticPosition.BottomLeft, Colors.Yellow);
            }
        }
    }
}

cAlgo does not provide this possibility at the moment.

You can generate a cloud by plotting a shape of dotted horizontal lines. It could be rectangular or even based on price values determined by any lines you have on your chart.

Hello,

just hinting at possible solution. Using Windows Forms gives you access to all types of elements you might potentially be interested in.

I am sure it is not a rocket science, if you are familiar with programming and C# and if you really need it of course.

RE:

Hello,

you can do this, but you need to refer to C# syntax rather than cAlgo.

Yep, but this might still open hundreds of positions simoultanously and then close them, is that right?

I was hoping there is a way to set the limit of positions above which none new are allowed to open.

RE:

I think you have defined "TimeFrame" as a type of "AtrTimeFrame" and not as a value.

Default parameter seems to be the actual value. Try to set its default parameter as e.g. "TimeFrame.Hour" and see if that works.

Hi,

use "for" loop to do this.

        for (int bar = 1; bar <= 300; bar++)
        {
            if (MacdHistogram.Histogram.Last(0) > MacdHistogram.Histogram.Last(bar))
            {
                //your logic here, 'break;' to stop the loop
            }
        }
