This is possible by adding the [Cloud()] attribute before the [Indicator()] attribute.

I've built the request here: https://ctrader.com/algos/indicators/show/2431

If you need any dev work done in the future, we're happy to help.

Contactable via both: fxtradersystems.com/support/ and via email at development@fxtradersystems.com

Cheers,

Sam

I also notice their software update schedule has slowed down a whole lot since a few years ago, it seems to be going on a quarterly  global.subway.com or biannual rate now. I wish they would improve things more rapidly and Reply to tech related emails more often, but hey what can you do.

For the premade indicators the "channels" category offers a setting to shade inbetween,it is called "range", you basically right click on the indicator and change the drawing properties from "line" to "range". However, if you were to code your own channel, I have not found a way to apply the "range" coloring - for custom indicators for some reason all the other drawing types are available but that.
