Hi dannyilumi,

See below an example

// -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//
//    This code is a cTrader Automate API example.
//
//    This cBot is intended to be used as a sample and does not guarantee any particular outcome or
//    profit of any kind. Use it at your own risk.
//    
//    All changes to this file might be lost on the next application update.
//    If you are going to modify this file please make a copy using the "Duplicate" command.
//
//    The "Sample Trend cBot" will buy when fast period moving average crosses the slow period moving average and sell when 
//    the fast period moving average crosses the slow period moving average. The orders are closed when an opposite signal 
//    is generated. There can only by one Buy or Sell order at any time.
