Hey guys, 

Trying to code an indicator that gives and arrow notification when the fast MA crosses the slow MA either from above or below. 
How do i add a filter to the code to include the 200 EMA and only give a notification when the cross occurs above the 200 EMA for buy signals and below the 200 EMA for sell signals. 
Anything i try gives errors.

Below is the piece of code where am stuck. 

The code does work whenever there is a MA cross but i want to add a filter to only give alerts after incorporating the 200EMA. 

if(Functions.HasCrossedAbove(fastMA.Result, slowMA.Result, 0)){
                Chart.DrawIcon("HasCrossedAbove",ChartIconType.UpTriangle,Bars[index].OpenTime,Bars[index].Low-arrowOffset,Color.LightBlue);
                
                if (Playsound && Cup<2 ){
                    Notifications.PlaySound(SoundPath);
                    Cup++;
                    Cdown=0;
                    }
                
                }

            if (Functions.HasCrossedBelow(fastMA.Result, slowMA.Result, 0)){
                
                Chart.DrawIcon("HasCrossedBelow",ChartIconType.DownTriangle,Bars[index].OpenTime,Bars[index].High+arrowOffset,Color.Red);
                
                if (Playsound && Cdown<2 ){
                    Notifications.PlaySound(SoundPath);
                    Cdown++;
                    Cup=0;
                   
                    }
                
                }
        }

        

    }
}

 

Any help will be highly appreciated. 

Thanks. 

 

Just test to see if the current closing price is above/below the 200MA.

//This is a mixture of sample/pseudo code but hopefully is enough to get you started
if (Bars.ClosePrices.LastValue > MA200.Result.LastValue)
{
	if (Functions.HasCrossedAbove(fastMA.Result, slowMA.Result, 0))
	{
		Chart.DrawIcon("HasCrossedAbove",ChartIconType.UpTriangle,Bars[index].OpenTime,Bars[index].Low-arrowOffset,Color.LightBlue);
                
                if (Playsound && Cup < 2 )
		{
                    Notifications.PlaySound(SoundPath);
                    Cup++;
                    Cdown=0;
		}
	}
}

else if (Bars.ClosePrices.LastValue < MA200.Result.LastValue)
{
	if (Functions.HasCrossedBelow(fastMA.Result, slowMA.Result, 0))
	{
		Chart.DrawIcon("HasCrossedBelow",ChartIconType.DownTriangle,Bars[index].OpenTime,Bars[index].High+arrowOffset,Color.Red);
                
                if (Playsound && Cdown < 2 )
		{
                    Notifications.PlaySound(SoundPath);
                    Cdown++;
                    Cup=0;
		}
	}
}

Example to help you get started:

if (Bars[index].OpenTime.DayOfWeek != DayOfWeek.Sunday)

{

}

else

{

// skip Sunday

}

You just have to make sure your bot is set to work in your time zone, otherwise if your market data is being derived in another time zone, obviously that Sunday might not line up with your Sunday.

You can use the TickVolume api and do your own calculations to determine pressure, or use any of the many indicators that do things with Tick volume.

An example:

Great.

Yeah, the mobile version is a bit ridiculous with the little amount you can customize compared to other mobile trading platforms.

Get this, on the mobile version, even the only way to change the chart colors is changing the entire theme on your phone from "light" to "dark". They used to have it where you can specify the chart be in light or dark mode. Now, in order to do that, you have to put your entire phone in "dark theme", which is completely idiotic.

I really think Spotware needs to get a new person, who has actually looked at what competing products are capable of doing, and driving a better mobile version balancing features,  performance, and what traders actually want if they do put "traders first".

Do you want the exceeds of $1250 to be gross profit or net profit?

Here's an example to test net profit on your account:

            if (Account.UnrealizedNetProfit > 1250)
            {
                foreach (Position p in Positions)
                {
                    ClosePosition(p);
                }
            }

@PanagiotisChar? Anyone?

I don't think so. I think what you'll have to do is have a separate button or checkbox to hide the indicator drawings before someone clicks the eyeball to hide the indicator.

This means you'll have to have the indicator keep track of all its drawings so it can show/hide them when the button/checkbox you create is checked/unchecked.

We need to have more customization options. For instance, changing colors of candlesticks, grid lines, etc.

These options are already there. Just change the color options:

We need to have a multi-chart mode.

You should explain this a bit more on what you expect from this, because @Spotware will come back and say, "there's already a multi-chart mode", which there is if you click here:

Read this thread and do what's suggested:

 

 

 

Now the cTrader is loading the data each time I want to optimize or backtest the bot. I ran the backtesting letting the data load. I tried again using the same history, but it loads the data again. It is not saving the data. I closed the cTrader and restarted my computer several times, but the problem persists.

Do you maybe know how to fix this?

 

@PanagiotisChar? @Spotware? Anyone else?

I see this thread hasn't been responded to, so thought I might say something in case it's still an issue? Or you'd like to revisit with a possible work around?

For starters, I would try this:

I haven't used it, but should allow for non-blocking operations because at the bottom of the page, it says, "While a message box is displayed, all other cBot/indicator events will be invoked normally."

Let us know how it works for you.

Well, I do agree with you about it being somewhat easy to code.

You'll have to speak to Spotware about it. Or offer your coding services for them :-)

But in the interim, perhaps post it to the "Suggestions" forum:
