Trigger stays true until false

Concept :

Test the Candle that Closed for the Close price : [index-1]

Test the Previous Value of the EMA  : EMA15.Result[index-1]

Set a Bool Switch For CandleAboveEma & CandleBelowEMA 

Code :

//Init
private bool CandleAboveEma ,CandleBelowEMA ;

Calculate()
{
   if(Marketseries.Close[index-1] > EMA15.Resulst[Index-1])
     {
       CandleAboveEma = True ;
       CandleBelowEMA  = False ;
     }
   else if(Marketseries.Close[index-1] < EMA15.Resulst[Index-1])
    {
      CandleAboveEma = True ;
      CandleBelowEMA  = False ;
    }
}

sure you can make only one Bool and test it ,but his will make sense if you're developing a big Indicator or Robot.

you must test the Previous EMA Value & Previous Candle . .. not the current values .

Line 13 & 14 should be the opposite in terms of True & False 

its a shame that we can't edit our own posts .

RE:

Thanks cyfer. So if I put this code in Int. will it store the value until it changes? 

Again thank you for helping out.

Hello 

You can discard the Bool Switches cause the calculations are Switches by nature 

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

namespace cAlgo
{
    [Indicator(IsOverlay = true, TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC, AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]
    public class CTDN_EMA_Signal : Indicator
    {
        private MovingAverage MA;
        private bool aboveEMA, belowEma;

        [Parameter("MA_Period", DefaultValue = 15)]
        public int MA_Period { get; set; }

        [Parameter("MA_Type", DefaultValue = MovingAverageType.Exponential)]
        public MovingAverageType MA_Type { get; set; }
//+--------------------------------------------------------------+
        protected override void Initialize()
        {
            MA = Indicators.MovingAverage(MarketSeries.Close, MA_Period, MA_Type);
        }
//+--------------------------------------------------------------+
        public override void Calculate(int index)
        {
            if (MarketSeries.Close[index - 1] > MA.Result[index - 1])
            {
                aboveEMA = true;
                belowEma = false;
                ChartObjects.DrawText("Signal", "AboveEma", StaticPosition.BottomLeft, Colors.Green);
            }
            if (MarketSeries.Close[index - 1] < MA.Result[index - 1])
            {
                aboveEMA = false;
                belowEma = true;
                ChartObjects.DrawText("Signal", "BelowEma", StaticPosition.BottomLeft, Colors.Red);
            }

        }
    }
}
