Hello Kamilsz,

good job ! i would like to ask you some help, your indicator seems very close to an MT4 version which is not exactly the same and do some repaint but i would like to do the same, do you know how to change your code to get the same please ?

here the part of mt4 code :

   int counted_bars=IndicatorCounted();
   int i,j,k,limit;

   if(counted_bars<0) return(-1);
   if(counted_bars>0) counted_bars--;
           limit=MathMin(Bars-1,Bars-counted_bars+HalfLength);
            if (returnBars)  { buffer1[0] = limit+1; return(0); }
   
   if (calculateValue || timeFrame==Period())
   {
      for (i=limit; i>=0; i--)
      {
         double sum  = (HalfLength+1)*iMA(NULL,0,1,0,MODE_SMA,Price,i);
         double sumw = (HalfLength+1);
         
         for(j=1, k=HalfLength; j<=HalfLength; j++, k--)
         {
            sum  += k*iMA(NULL,0,1,0,MODE_SMA,Price,i+j);
            sumw += k;

            if (j<=i)
            {
               sum  += k*iMA(NULL,0,1,0,MODE_SMA,Price,i-j);
               sumw += k;
            }
         }
      
         double range = iATR(NULL,0,ATRPeriod,i+10)*ATRMultiplier;
            buffer1[i] = sum/sumw;
            buffer2[i] = buffer1[i]+range;
            buffer3[i] = buffer1[i]-range;

         //
         //
         //
         //
         //
        
      }     
   }

 

thanks for your help !

I'm not aware how price boreder works, mine is rewritten based on https://ctrader.com/algos/indicators/show/295 which is based on TMA+CG mt4 indicator
