Moving Average with shift for different price types;

(0) = Typical Price

Typical Price = (O+H+L+C) /4

Weighted Close Price = (O+H+L+C+C) /5

Median Price =  (H+L) /2

Hi Ozan,

Regarding your TradeManagerV03   ( /algos/cbots/show/1080 )   :

Is it possible to use that cBot and set the 'Maximum DrawDown %' parameter – so that my open trades get closed, once I reach a specific Equity profit target ?

For example: When I make 8% in equity growth, then my open trades have their Stop Losses moved up close to lock in the profit.

Thanks.

For a better Source Price Type Selection with dropdown list , please vote for enum parameters  support in cAlgo.
