Why don't you post the robot in the robots section so that we can fix/modify  it. Also add as much of the trading strategy logic as possible.

I am trying to figure out the same thing.

What Output should the Cbot be looking for?

I have tried the results of these outputs  UpTrend/DownTrend/_upBuffer/_downBuffer being equal to 0 or 1 or -1 but none of those seem to work? I changed the 'private' to 'public' when i tried using the _upBuffer and _downBuffer parameters. But that did not work anyways.

Is it a True or False result i am looking for??

Can anyone have a look at the code below and maybe assist me with this?

Thanks a lot!

using cAlgo.API;
using cAlgo.API.Indicators;

virtuesoft, Did you get a cbot to work with the supertrend indicator?

No, I gave up on it and moved on to other things. Sorry.
