Thx. Can this also be used for moving averages? One MA crossing another MA?

Also, how about candle closing inside MA , after crossing it.

Tekash,

HasCrossedAbove and HasCrossedBelow will return a boolean true or false when it is called by comparing two dataseries, in this case the resulting dataseries from a primary and secondary indicator.  The function will only work with dataseries inputs.

For candles closing either side of an MA (ie, buy when a bull candle closes above and sell when a bear candle closes below), you'd want to build a function that determines the candle colour, determines where the open and close prices are, and executes when the closing price of the last candle is above or below the MA last value.  You'd also probably want to construct it such that it won't continue to open orders once an order is placed.

My advice would be to read up on the API as it's all pretty well documented, and hit up YouTube for all the C# coding how-tos if you're a beginner. There's a wealth of stuff out there to get you going.

What is DataSeries in thi case, I need detailed explanation plz..for instance, sample coe of one MA crossing another MA.

2. if you coul give hint of sample code of you rporpsoeal, Id appreciate.

Hi tekASH,

Thanks for the screenshot but I still do not understand how you define "inside".

Best Regards,

Panagiotis 

simple..candle crosses a MA, and its closing price line, the body, (not wicks) stays inside that MA not crossing back.

Hi tekASH,

Yes it can be used for MA crossing another MA. However I do not understand what do you mean when you say candle closing inside MA. Can explain a bit more what do you consider to be inside an MA, maybe with a screenshot?

Best Regards,

Panagiotis

Hey Lucian

When building it brings error: Error CS0618: 'cAlgo.API.Internals.Symbol.QuantityToVolume(double)' is obsolete: 'Use QuantityToVolumeInUnits instead'

is it normal? Also, the cBot interface looks incomplete, no choosing EMA, two EMAs should be there I guess?

On the Back-testing basic Settings, on commission per million- do we enter value for round trade (total enter and close commissions) or one way?

my broker 1 mln commission is 60 USD round trip - should I enter this?

In backtesting settings commissions are for one way.

can you elaborate why?. because logically a conrete trade is comprised of open and close which makes two ways.

Good

But guys, things liek performance tab and stuff are not relevant and important.

You still miss very important stuff like SHIFTing in indicators (lik shift for moving averages) desktop platform! BEcause of this I dont use stand-alone program only web-version!

you must sophisticate flexilbity of modifying indicators

Hello Admin

today while opening cTrader I was asked to download updates of 12.5 mb...usually, after installign updates it shows what's new....but this it didnt. What novelties are installed lately?

note: I had installed February updates prior to this one.

It is an issue of that specific Heikin Ashi custom indicator. As an alternative you can use Heikin-Ashi Smoothed with period 1

yes good idea. works fine.

please dont forget to include Shift and Level parameters for indicators for next round of updates. these are extremely required.

You can try cTrader Web. It has a native implementation of Heikin Ashi.

sorry but İ dont and cant use web version all the time. because I cant apply custom indicators, so there must be some solution to this. you as Spotware service should know better why below bars grid disapears.

We are planning to include these features in the cTrader desktop version as well.

About the line chart color, you can modify it from the top center menu. Choose Bear Outline from the Colors menu:

thanks...

when are you planing to release these updates (more features in indicator parameters)?

Also, very important and killing feature for cTrader would be automatic margin calculation on Order Opening window...that would awsome and free traders of manual calculation headache
