//Try this
if (Account.MarginLevel.HasValue && Account.MarginLevel >= MarginRequirement)
//execute your order
}
else
{
if (!Account.MarginLevel.HasValue)
Print("Margin Level has no value.");
else
//print out your margin levels so you can actually see what it is
Print("Margin Level is {0}", Account.MarginLevel);
}

You can do it in a position closing event method. Rough example below:
//In the OnStart method:
Positions.Closed += Positions_Closed;
//In the method itself once the event is defined:
private void Positions_Closed(PositionClosedEventArgs args)
{
Position p1 = args.Position;
//do whatever you have to do
//Now get the historical trade stuff.
HistoricalTrade ht = History.FindLast(p1.Label, p1.SymbolName, p1.TradeType);
Print("Position \"{0} {1}\" closed for reason \"{2}\" with {3} profit. Entry Price {4}, Closing Price {5}, StopLoss {6}, ClosingTime {7}", p1.Id, p1.Label, args.Reason, String.Format("{0:$#,###.00}", p1.GrossProfit), p1.EntryPrice, p1.ClosingPrice, p1.StopLoss, ht.ClosingTime);
//finish off whatever you have to do
}

In regards to your second point, why aren't you testing margin levels in your code _before_ sending the execute order? Your margin levels change dynamically, and the order execution isn't always instantaneous.
For instance, you could have margin level of 50% when you submit the order, but then price in another open position of yours drops, lowering your margin level below 50%, which means your order can no longer execute even though it had enough margin when you submitted the order.
//You should check your account's margin levels before sending the order
//just to be a bit safer
if (Account.MarginLevel.HasValue && Account.MarginLevel >= xxx)
//execute your order
}

JSON works perfectly with cAlgo. I use it in all my bots for saving states.
I'm using the NewtonSoft json package in Visual Studio.
You haven't stated anything on how you have your VS configured (if you're using it), nor any sample code reproducing your issue.
It simply says package "netwonsoft.json" is not supported, same thing with entityframework. so i reckon its blocked due to some reason. i am running .Net6.0, but i already removed these packages, i resorted to saving notepad files separated by random characters ;(
I suspect it may have something to do with the way it's been imported?
See with mine:
and it's a .Net 6.0 bot too:
and it's local to my machine when I add a reference in cTrader itself (make sure to do that instead of trying to add a reference in Visual Studio itself)

This is a multistep process:
1) create a global variable that counts the number of crossovers.
private int _maCrossOverCount;
2) In the OnStart method, set the count to zero:
_maCrossOverCount = 0;
3) Every time a cross over happens, increase the count by 1. However, you have to decide if you want the cross over to count if it happens when a "tick" comes in or a new bar. Reason being is obviously if the MA's are close, they could cross over hundreds of time within a bar on every tick depending on how much price fluctuates
if (_sma1.Result.LastValue > _sma2.Result.LastValue)
{
_maCrossOverCount += 1;
//and
if (_sma1.Result.LastValue < _sma2.Result.LastValue)
{
_maCrossOverCount += 1;
4) Check the crossover count before you open a position:
if (_maCrossOverCount > 1)
{
/// code what you need to in order to open your position
}

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but the PRC is retrofitted to price action. Only the current value of the PRC is not repainted. This is similar to a linear regression channel which is also retrofitted to price action. This means that the entire graph is repainted, with the exception of the current value of the channel, which can be used for an automated strategy.
This has already been discussed somewhat here:

Then
1) look for them in the repository:
2) write them yourself
3) ask in the indicator forum if there's someone willing to do it for you
4) or contact someone like @PanagiotisChar or @ClickAlgo who will have them developed for you for a cost.
