Description
My slope indicator calculates the slope of a smoothed SMA. You can enter the backstep, meaning the length of time you want to go back to measure the slope. A slope limit allows you to judge when a threshold is reached for trading. MA tolerance sets a value for the amount of change in the moving average needed to register a peak. Slope peak tolerance sets a minimum value to register a peak in the slope.
The slope indicator registers peaks in the ma and slope. It also gives a signal if the slope is flat for 12 periods.

how it is possible to use your indicator on Cbot ?
Sure, its just a sma wit an sma applied to it. It removes some of the choppyness between close periods.
using System;
using cAlgo.API;
using cAlgo.API.Internals;
using cAlgo.API.Indicators;
using cAlgo.Indicators;
namespace cAlgo
{
[Indicator(IsOverlay = true, ScalePrecision = 7,TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC, AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]
public class mySmoothSMA : Indicator
{
[Parameter()]
public DataSeries Source { get; set; }
[Parameter(DefaultValue = 24)]
public int paramPeriods { get; set; }
[Parameter(DefaultValue = 3)]
public int paramSmoothing { get; set; }
[Output("SMA", Color = Colors.Red)]
public IndicatorDataSeries Result { get; set; }
private SimpleMovingAverage sma;
private SimpleMovingAverage smoothsma;
protected override void Initialize()
{sma = Indicators.SimpleMovingAverage(Source, paramPeriods);
smoothsma = Indicators.SimpleMovingAverage(sma.Result, paramSmoothing);}
public override void Calculate(int index){ Result[index] = smoothsma.Result[index];}
}
}
Could provide the custom indicator mySmoothSMA ?
I was trying to build button, but error occurred.
My smooth SMA.csproj doesn't exist.
How can I solve this ?
