Average Entry [STILL IN DEVELOPMENT!]

Description

An Indicator that shows the long and short average entries on the chart. Swaps are included in the calculations.

This indicator is experimental and still in development and may contains bugs!

Parameters:

  • Show Text - Shows or Hides the text under the break-even lines on chart

HI
hillmusic131 · 1 year ago

Thanks Botnet101, that's a really useful indicator!

Another suggestion would be to show the point of breakeven positions of both long and short  entries (although it's more complicated and would need to take into account long and short position sizes).

Great Idea Botnet101. If you can add a Change of Colour and position (right, middle, left) on the chart. Great job.
