Shift Function for Simple Moving Average
06 Feb 2020, 14:56


Hello Everyone, 

I'm using the simple moving average as the main indicator in my cBot and would like to add the "shift" feature to it. Does anyone have the code ? Or from where to get it ? 

Thank You

Hi there,

This parameter is not available in the API at the moment.

Hello Mr. Panagiotis,

 

Thank you for your reply.

I’m just curious to know when this feature will be added in the API ? Is it a paid feature ?

Hi Mr. John,

We do not have plans to add this at the moment but this can be programmed by you in a custom indicator.

Hello again Mr. Panagiotis,

Thank you for the advise..

 

I have requested my developer to use/integrate a custom indicator to be able to have same function of “shift” in the cBot.. It works partially OK in positive values (above zero) but it doesn’t give any results in negative values such -1 or -40 ... etc !!

There are no values in the latest bars !!

How do you think this can be fixed and results can be seen ?

Thanks a lot in advance

Hi Mr. John,

I am not sure why do you think this is an issue and what values would you expect to see. If the indicator is shifted backwards then there will not be any results in the latest bars.
