Moving Average Cross Over

Description

This is a simple Indicator based on two Moving Averages, that you can choose between many of them made available natively from Ctrader.

The Indicator changes the colors of the Clouds depending on the Trend and it paints the Candles as well based on the Trend.

There was a little error in my code, and i just uploaded it without noticing it. The indicator was asked from some members our group

and i did it fast without having a better look into it. Here please delete the old one and install this one.

change rows 38 and 40, for full functionality

            FastMa = Indicators.MovingAverage(Bars.ClosePrices, fastPeriod, MaType);
             
            SlowMa = Indicators.MovingAverage(Bars.ClosePrices, slowPeriod, MaType);
