Hi alex_mihail,

Can you explain what do you mean when you say "get both of them working together"?

Best Regards,

Yes - on TradingView I can choose OHLC4 as the source of my Hull Moving Average - I'm not seeing this option on cTrader.

Hi alex_mihail,

Do you have an OHLC indicator for cTrader? If yes, does it have an output series for the results? If yes, then you can feed the results to a Hull MA.

Thanks I've found it! Is there any way to change the color of the Hull MA line to Green when it's moving up and Red when it's moving down?

Hi alex_mihail,

To achieve this you need to have two output series with DiscontinuousLine type, one for uptrending values and one for downtrending values. When the MA is on a downtrend put the value in the downtrend output series and vice versa for the uptrend. See an example below for a simple moving average

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 NewIndicator : Indicator
    {
        [Parameter(DefaultValue = 14)]
        public int Periods { get; set; }

        [Parameter(DefaultValue = 50)]
        public double Level { get; set; }

        [Output("Up", PlotType = PlotType.DiscontinuousLine, LineColor = "Green")]
        public IndicatorDataSeries Up { get; set; }

        [Output("Down", PlotType = PlotType.DiscontinuousLine, LineColor = "Red")]
        public IndicatorDataSeries Down { get; set; }


        SimpleMovingAverage _sma;
        protected override void Initialize()
        {
            _sma = Indicators.SimpleMovingAverage(MarketSeries.Close, Periods);
        }

        public override void Calculate(int index)
        {
            // Calculate value at specified index
            if (_sma.Result.IsRising())
            {
                Up[index - 1] = _sma.Result[index - 1];
                Up[index] = _sma.Result[index];
            }
            else
            {
                Down[index - 1] = _sma.Result[index - 1];
                Down[index] = _sma.Result[index];
            }
        }
    }
}

RE:

Thanks Panagiotis! Does this work differently for indicators like ADX line?

Hi alex_mihail,

No it should be the same principle everywhere.

Thanks for your help, got it working.

Is there no option to move indicators above the chart in cTrader?
