Thx. Can this also be used for moving averages? One MA crossing another MA?

Also, how about candle closing inside MA , after crossing it.

Hi tekASH,

Yes it can be used for MA crossing another MA. However I do not understand what do you mean when you say candle closing inside MA. Can explain a bit more what do you consider to be inside an MA, maybe with a screenshot?

Best Regards,

Hi tekASH,

Thanks for the screenshot but I still do not understand how you define "inside".

Tekash,

HasCrossedAbove and HasCrossedBelow will return a boolean true or false when it is called by comparing two dataseries, in this case the resulting dataseries from a primary and secondary indicator.  The function will only work with dataseries inputs.

For candles closing either side of an MA (ie, buy when a bull candle closes above and sell when a bear candle closes below), you'd want to build a function that determines the candle colour, determines where the open and close prices are, and executes when the closing price of the last candle is above or below the MA last value.  You'd also probably want to construct it such that it won't continue to open orders once an order is placed.

My advice would be to read up on the API as it's all pretty well documented, and hit up YouTube for all the C# coding how-tos if you're a beginner. There's a wealth of stuff out there to get you going.

simple..candle crosses a MA, and its closing price line, the body, (not wicks) stays inside that MA not crossing back.

What is DataSeries in thi case, I need detailed explanation plz..for instance, sample coe of one MA crossing another MA.

2. if you coul give hint of sample code of you rporpsoeal, Id appreciate.
