Here it is

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("Main")]
        public IndicatorDataSeries MA { get; set; }

        [Output("Leven Up")]
        public IndicatorDataSeries LevelUp { get; set; }

        [Output("Leven Down")]
        public IndicatorDataSeries LevelDown { 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
            MA[index] = _sma.Result[index];
            LevelUp[index] = _sma.Result[index] + Symbol.TickSize * Level;
            LevelDown[index] = _sma.Result[index] - Symbol.TickSize * Level;
        }
    }
}

RE:

Can you please show me also the formula for points?

Panagiotis Charalampous said:

Hi beej.sanchez,

I used pips but it seems that MT4 uses points. It can be easily modified if you wish.

Best Regards,

Panagiotis

RE:

WOW. thank you for your help!

Usong cTrader, I set the indicator to 200 SMA, then 5 as the level. I am assuming this is the same with what Ive done with MT4, 200 SMA, add 50 & -50 Level

The photo below shows the result.

Hi beej.sanchez,

There is no such feature in cTrader but you can easily achieve this with a custom indicator. See below an example

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 = 5)]
        public double Level { get; set; }

        [Output("Main")]
        public IndicatorDataSeries MA { get; set; }

        [Output("Leven Up")]
        public IndicatorDataSeries LevelUp { get; set; }

        [Output("Leven Down")]
        public IndicatorDataSeries LevelDown { 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
            MA[index] = _sma.Result[index];
            LevelUp[index] = _sma.Result[index] + Symbol.PipSize * Level;
            LevelDown[index] = _sma.Result[index] - Symbol.PipSize * Level;
        }
    }
}

Best Regards,

Panagiotis
