RE:

To add a downloaded indicator to your cTrader platform, follow the steps below:

1. Download or move the Indicator to My Documents > cAlgo > Sources > Indicators.
2. Open the cAlgo platform. If you don't already have it, you can download cAlgo from your broker's website (or download here if you're just using the demo fromSpotware.com)
3. Click on the Indicators tab from the Robots/Indicators menu on the left.
4. Find the Indicator you want to use.
5. Click the Build icon . If the build is successful, the icon appearance will change to 

The Indicator will now be available in your cTrader platform.

There are sample robots when you download cAlgo, there is a robot that uses a custom indicator. You can just look at that.

using System;
using cAlgo.API;
using cAlgo.API.Indicators;
using cAlgo.API.Internals;
using cAlgo.API.Requests;
using cAlgo.Indicators;

namespace cAlgo.Robots
{
    [Robot(TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC)]
    public class RSIDrop : Robot
    {
        [Parameter("Source")]
        public DataSeries Source { get; set; }

        [Parameter("Periods", DefaultValue = 14)]
        public int Periods { get; set; }


        private RelativeStrengthIndex rsi;
          
        protected override void OnStart()
        {         
            rsi = Indicators.RelativeStrengthIndex(Source, Periods);
        }

        protected override void OnTick()
        {
                if (rsi.Result.LastValue < 30)
 Trade.CreateSellMarketOrder(Symbol, 10000);

        }
  
        protected override void OnStop()
        {
            // Put your deinitialization logic here
        }
    }
}

Here is a simple robot using RSI. If you want to use another indecator change the part after indicators to the indecator you want to use. Remember to add the parameaters the robut use like (source and periods)

If you want to use a indecator you cahe downloaded use Indicators.GetIndicator<// the name of the indecator>(// the parameters the indecator use);
You wil also have to refrense the robot by clicking the Add Refrens butten and finding the idecator you are using.
