How to Change Moving Average Source from close to Low or High.
14 Feb 2022, 15:02

Hello,

I want to change the moving average source from Close to Low for SMA 1 and from Close to High for SMA2? Currently both are at default close.

[Parameter("Instance Name", DefaultValue = "001")]
        public string InstanceName { get; set; }

        [Parameter("Lot Size", DefaultValue = 0.1)]
        public double LotSize { get; set; }

        [Parameter("Source SMA #1")]
        public DataSeries SourceSma1 { get; set; }

        [Parameter("Source SMA #2")]
        public DataSeries SourceSma2 { get; set; }

        [Parameter("Period SMA #1", DefaultValue = 5, MinValue = 1, MaxValue = 100)]
        public int PeriodsSma1 { get; set; }

        [Parameter("Period SMA #2", DefaultValue = 20, MinValue = 1, MaxValue = 100)]
        public int PeriodsSma2 { get; set; }

        [Parameter("Calculate OnBar", DefaultValue = false)]
        public bool CalculateOnBar { get; set; }

        #endregion

        #region Indicator declarations

        private SimpleMovingAverage _sma1 { get; set; }
        private SimpleMovingAverage _sma2 { get; set; }

        #endregion

Hi,

You can use an enum, ex:

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

namespace cAlgo.Robots
{
    [Robot(TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC, AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]
    public class NewcBot : Robot
    {
        [Parameter("Instance Name", DefaultValue = "001")]
        public string InstanceName { get; set; }

        [Parameter("Lot Size", DefaultValue = 0.1)]
        public double LotSize { get; set; }

        [Parameter("Source SMA #1", DefaultValue = DataSource.Low)]
        public DataSource SourceSma1 { get; set; }

        [Parameter("Source SMA #2", DefaultValue = DataSource.High)]
        public DataSource SourceSma2 { get; set; }

        [Parameter("Period SMA #1", DefaultValue = 5, MinValue = 1, MaxValue = 100)]
        public int PeriodsSma1 { get; set; }

        [Parameter("Period SMA #2", DefaultValue = 20, MinValue = 1, MaxValue = 100)]
        public int PeriodsSma2 { get; set; }

        [Parameter("Calculate OnBar", DefaultValue = false)]
        public bool CalculateOnBar { get; set; }

        #region Indicator declarations

        private SimpleMovingAverage _sma1 { get; set; }
        private SimpleMovingAverage _sma2 { get; set; }

        #endregion Indicator declarations

        {
            // construct the indicators
            _sma1 = Indicators.SimpleMovingAverage(GetSeries(SourceSma1), PeriodsSma1);
            _sma2 = Indicators.SimpleMovingAverage(GetSeries(SourceSma2), PeriodsSma2);
        }

        private DataSeries GetSeries(DataSource source)
        {
            switch (source)
            {

                case DataSource.Open:
                    return Bars.OpenPrices;

                default:
                    throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException("source");
            }
        }
    }

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

Thanks a lot. It works.
