Example: Moving Average Crossover in Python
import cTrader
class SMAcrossover(cTrader.cBot):
def OnStart(self):
self.fast_sma = self.Indicators.SimpleMovingAverage(self.Symbol.Close, 9)
self.slow_sma = self.Indicators.SimpleMovingAverage(self.Symbol.Close, 21)
def OnBar(self):
if self.fast_sma.LastValue > self.slow_sma.LastValue:
self.ExecuteMarketOrder('buy', 1000)
elif self.fast_sma.LastValue < self.slow_sma.LastValue:
self.ExecuteMarketOrder('sell', 1000)
