Hi vmtxd07,

It's not possible to know the type of the source. If you need to know the type, then you might want to consider another approach e.g. using custom enums.

Hi all.

I'm seeing the code in Automate of ctrader. I don't know how to get value of the Source after choose etc, Open or Close or High ...

I know DataSeries Source will return Source of bar will using as the data input.

Thanks !

        [Parameter("Source")]
        public DataSeries Source { get; set; }

 

What "value" are you trying to get?

1) The actual decimal value of the SMA? If so, then create your indicator similar to as follows:

Indicators.MovingAverage(DataSource source, int periods, MovingAverageType maType)

and get its value every time you need it.

2) the value of the type of source selected? Then you can use @Panagiotis' suggestion by creating your own enum:

 public enum MASource_Options
        {
            High,
            Low,
            Open,
            Close
        }

and using that as the parameter type:

 [Parameter("Source", DefaultValue = MASource_Options.Close)]
        public MASource_Options SMASource { get; set; }
