Hi, I'm trying trying to display icon or text with buy and sell signal on candlestick chart based on UT Bot indicator but I'm not really managing to display the text or icon on the chart ,

so this is what I have by now :

 

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using cAlgo.API;
using cAlgo.API.Collections;
using cAlgo.API.Indicators;
using cAlgo.API.Internals;
using cAlgo.Indicators;

namespace cAlgo
{
    [Indicator(IsOverlay = true, TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC, AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]
    public class UTBotCA23 : Indicator
    {
        [Parameter("Key", DefaultValue = 1)]
        public double Key_Value { get; set; }
        [Parameter("ATR Period", DefaultValue = 10)]
        public int ATR_Period { get; set; }
 
        private AverageTrueRange xATR;
        
 
        //[Output("UpTrend", PlotType = PlotType.DiscontinuousLine, LineColor = "Green")]
        public IndicatorDataSeries XATRTrailingStopGreen { get; set; }
        //[Output("Continuos", PlotType = PlotType.DiscontinuousLine, LineColor = "Green")]
        public IndicatorDataSeries XATRTrailingStop { get; set; }
        //[Output("DownTrend", PlotType = PlotType.DiscontinuousLine, LineColor = "Red")]
        public IndicatorDataSeries XATRTrailingStopRed { get; set; }
 
        protected override void Initialize()
        {
            xATR = Indicators.AverageTrueRange(ATR_Period, MovingAverageType.Exponential);
            
            
        }
 
        public override void Calculate(int index)
        {
            double nLoss = Key_Value * xATR.Result[index];
            XATRTrailingStop[index] = (Bars.ClosePrices[index] > XATRTrailingStop[index - 1] && Bars.ClosePrices[index - 1] > XATRTrailingStop[index - 1]) ? Math.Max(XATRTrailingStop[index - 1], Bars.ClosePrices[index] - nLoss) : (Bars.ClosePrices[index] < XATRTrailingStop[index - 1] && Bars.ClosePrices[index - 1] < XATRTrailingStop[index - 1]) ? Math.Min(XATRTrailingStop[index - 1], Bars.ClosePrices[index] + nLoss) : (Bars.ClosePrices[index] > XATRTrailingStop[index - 1]) ? Bars.ClosePrices[index] - nLoss : Bars.ClosePrices[index] + nLoss;
            XATRTrailingStopGreen[index] = XATRTrailingStop[index] < Bars.ClosePrices[index] ? XATRTrailingStop[index] : double.NaN;
            XATRTrailingStopRed[index] = XATRTrailingStop[index] > Bars.ClosePrices[index] ? XATRTrailingStop[index] : double.NaN;
            
          
            Chart.DrawIcon("Buy", ChartIconType.UpTriangle, Bars.OpenTimes.LastValue, XATRTrailingStopGreen[index] , Color.Green);
            
             Chart.DrawIcon("Sell", ChartIconType.DownTriangle, Bars.OpenTimes.LastValue, XATRTrailingStopRed[index] , Color.Red);
        }
    }
}

 

Quick update , so it actually shows the icon if I uncomment those 3 outputs at the top , but it's showing a single icon for the last Uptrend , and I want to show the icons for past candles as well and also I'd like to get rid of the lines and only show the icons , how can i do that ?

Hi there,

You need to use a different name for each icon else it overrides the previous one.

Hi, well I think I'm using different names for each icon, one is called Buy, and the other one is Sell, or what do you mean?

Hi, I want to make this indicator look like this UT-Bot Indicator from TradingView :

Could you tell me how can I manage to do that ?

Thankyou !

Hi there,

Each different icon on the chart needs to have a unique name. If you use "Buy" for all Buy icons then you will only have one Buy icon at each time, as the last one overrides the previous ones. Try adding to the name the bar's open price

Chart.DrawIcon("Buy"+ Bars.OpenTimes[index].ToString(), ChartIconType.UpTriangle, Bars.OpenTimes.LastValue, XATRTrailingStopGreen[index] , Color.Green);
