Bollinger Bands on RSI(or CCI) with unseen MACD
26 Jun 2024, 11:47


Hello,

I love CTrader. Thank you for all of your all's effort. Grateful Louis B.W. would like you to update the bollinger bands to change the "source" because it seems to be locked on "Close"

Also, When using RSI on "previous indicators data" as MACD, removing the MACD from the chart would be idea for my chart to work correctly.

Also, my entire strategy uses the RSI & CCI(separate sub windows) on MACD(not seen) then adding the Bollinger Bands to the RSI & CCI(Separate Sub Windows) via "previous indicator's Data". Please make this available, on cTrader, because this is an essential component of a complete Algorithmic trading strategy & Software.

Thank you.

Best Regards,

Louis B.W.

Hi Louis,

Thanks for your kind words. I am not sure why you got the impression that the source in Bollinger Bands cannot change. You can use any source you need. See below where you can do it

Best regards,

Panagiotis

Thank you for your reply. 

The issue is two fold. The MACD is still on the chart above the RSI using the MACD data. Maybe there is a way to remove the MACD and keep the the RSI using the MACD data? Then attaching the Bollinger Bands to the RSI does appear to be as easy changing the source parameters for the Bollinger Bands to the RSI, but the Source parameter is grayed out and cannot be changed. I tried to play around with the settings and could not achieve the singular subwindow with the Bollinger Bands on the RSI using the previous MACD data, (unseen same sub window). I am new to cTrader, so I hope there is a way to do this setup, because it is the best setup that exists, im my opinions. Please check it out. 

Thank you, 

Louis B.W.

Hi there,

No the indicator needs to be on the chart in order to use it as a source. Alternatively, you need to code your own indicator.

but the Source parameter is grayed out and cannot be changed.

You need to add the source when you add the indicator on the chart. You cannot change it later. So make sure your RSI indicator is already on the chart before you add the Bollinger Bands indicator.

Best regards,

I tried that and it worked. Thank you. I plan on having all my indicators from MT4 converted over the cTrader. The Bollinger Bands in cTrader would be of better usefulness if levels could be added the Bollinger Bands because levels create signals when the RSI value crosses the levels. Can the levels be writting into a Bollinger Bands indicator? And an EA automatic software algorithm, cAlgo have Bollinger Band levels? Thank you.

Hi there,

It is not possible to add levels in the built in Bollinger Bands indicator. But you can develop your own custom indicator and add levels if you wish, it should not be hard.
