Hi royj1995,

See an example using two SMAs below

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

namespace cAlgo
{
    [Cloud("Fast MA", "Slow MA", FirstColor = "Aqua", Opacity = 0.5, SecondColor = "Red")]
    [Indicator(IsOverlay = true, TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC, AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]
    public class CloudExample : Indicator
    {
        [Parameter("Fast MA Period", DefaultValue = 21)]
        public int FastMaPeriod { get; set; }

        [Parameter("Slow MA Period", DefaultValue = 50)]
        public int SlowMaPeriod { get; set; }

        [Output("Fast MA", LineColor = "#FF6666")]
        public IndicatorDataSeries FastMaResult { get; set; }

        [Output("Slow MA", LineColor = "#0071C1")]
        public IndicatorDataSeries SlowMaResult { get; set; }

        SimpleMovingAverage FastMa;
        SimpleMovingAverage SlowMa;


        protected override void Initialize()
        {
            FastMa = Indicators.SimpleMovingAverage(Bars.ClosePrices, FastMaPeriod);
            SlowMa = Indicators.SimpleMovingAverage(Bars.ClosePrices, SlowMaPeriod);
        }

        public override void Calculate(int index)
        {
            FastMaResult[index] = FastMa.Result[index];
            SlowMaResult[index] = SlowMa.Result[index];
        }
    }
}

z index

This is great Panagiotis - thank you.

Can anyone tell me how I can get the cloud behind the candlesticks?

I see a Z index ChartObject but do not know how to insert it into the code above. Basically I just want the candlesticks to be completely in view and thus on top of the cloud indicator.

Thanks in advance, Bewell.

Hi bewell,

There is no such option at the moment. We will add it in a future release.

Thanks Panagiotis

I am not a programmer but I thought the Z index would solve this problem by applying it to the 'Cloud' and then tucking it behind the candles. Maybe it can only be used with other 'ChartObjects' and candles do not fall into that category?

Anyway, looking forward to the new functionality when it is built. It will be a big improvement to have the candles on top.

Cheers, Bewell
