RE:

I have found example of custom indicator in cBot, but I need also more complicated demo, when cBot is using outputs of custom indicator.

Could you please Mr PanagiotisChar place a link to such example?

Thank you!

RE:

I have found working example of custom indicator in cBot ( https://ctrader.com/algos/indicators/show/1086 ).

Indicator name: Renko.

I didn't test if everything is working fine, but code compiles (with many warnings as indicator is quite old).

Indicator:

using cAlgo.API;

using cAlgo.API.Indicators;

using cAlgo.API.Internals;

using cAlgo.Indicators;

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Linq;

        [Parameter("Zoom Level", DefaultValue = 3, MinValue = 0, MaxValue = 5, Step = 1)]

        public double ZoomLevel { get; set; }

 

        [Parameter("Bullish Color", DefaultValue = "SeaGreen")]

        public string ColorBull { get; set; }

 

        [Parameter("Bearish Color", DefaultValue = "Tomato")]

        public string ColorBear { get; set; }

 

        [Output("Open", Color = Colors.DimGray, Thickness = 1, PlotType = PlotType.Points)]

        public IndicatorDataSeries Open { get; set; }

RE:

Thank your for your response.

Could you PLEASE give me a link to working demo of custom indicator and cBot?

I'm learning to code in cTrader and I prefer to have generic simple example then something complicated (and my indicator is a little complicated), I may have trouble to use later in different circumstances.

Thank you!
