Launching the Indicator

After installing the license on your Prorealtime platform, the indicator will be available in the Indicators & Trading Systems window in the “ProRealCode MarketPlace” section.

To access the indicators window, click on the “Price” icon located in the price chart window, then on “Add Indicator…“:

Add Indicator Prorealtime

To access the indicator, refer to the “ProRealCode MarketPlace” section or type the name “Golden Cross” in the search bar. Double-click on the “Golden Cross” indicator to display it in the price window.

Why does the price chart become flattened after loading the indicator?

The indicator returns buy and sell signals. This allows you to use the indicator to create alerts and backtests. It returns 1 for buy signals and -1 for sell signals.

These values ​​are displayed by default on the price chart. This automatically adjusts the chart size, making it flattened.

To avoid having to readjust the price chart, follow these steps:

  • Open the indicator configuration window
  • Scroll to the bottom of the window
  • Uncheck the box corresponding to the signal (which can be named “Signal”, “Breakout”, “Crossing”, etc.)

If the problem persists, you can uncheck the stoploss and targets. The indicator already displays these.

The Golden Cross indicator is fully configurable. You can choose to display the moving average(s) of your choice, select the signal types, apply filters, set the price target level, and customize the display.

Selecting the Crossover Type

The indicator detects the moving average crossings. A crossover indicates a buy signal, and a crossunder indicates a short-sell signal.

You can choose the type of crossover the indicator will detect by checking the corresponding box(es):

Moving Average Breakouts

The Golden Cross indicator can detect bullish and bearish breakouts of moving averages. You must set a period from 1 to the first moving average to activate this signal.

Moving Average Periods

You can set the period of the moving averages whose crossings the indicator will detect. A Golden Cross corresponds to a bullish crossover of a 200-period moving average with a 50-period moving average. A Death Cross corresponds to a crossunder of these moving averages.

The Golden Cross indicator allows you to set the period of these two moving averages. Simply define the periods you have chosen in the “MA 1 Length” and “MA 2 Length” boxes:
