Price Action / BreakOut

Description

This is a Price Action Indicator, that helps you to identify the difference between trend / sideway market. Unlike Highest High Lowest Low indicator, here you don't need to set period. It adapts to the market, based on the logic of inside bars.

 

Buy, when price is above EMA and breaks up from the consolidation channel.

Sell, when price is below EMA and breaks down from the consolidation channel.

using cAlgo.API;

    [Indicator(IsOverlay = true)]
    public class Break_Out_Channel : Indicator

    public IndicatorDataSeries Up { get; set; }
    
    [Output("Down", Color = Colors.DarkCyan, PlotType = PlotType.Line, LineStyle = LineStyle.LinesDots, Thickness = 1)]
    public IndicatorDataSeries Down { get; set; }

How to install.

If its a .cs file. Go to Indicators under the algos tab. Click new and give it a name in the left pane. Copy and paste the code that's here or in the .cs file into the window on the right for the indicator code. Its the same code. Then click build. Done. it will appear under custom when adding indicators or searching the name you gave when adding the indicator.

Hi, I don't know how to install it. It says it's a .cs file and can't open it when I try to install it once downloaded.

thanks, Sylvie
