Quickstart

Build the example indicators and load them on a chart.

Before you start

• Deepchart installed. The project references two libraries from its folder: VolSysAPI.dll and VolumetricaCore.dll.
• The .NET 10 SDK.
• Your developer id (see Developer id).
• Any editor: Visual Studio, Rider or Visual Studio Code.

Build and load

1. Get the project

   Clone or download this repository. The project is in src, the solution is DeepchartIndicators.sln.

2. Set your developer id

   Open src/DeepchartIndicators.csproj and replace YOUR-DEV-ID:

   <DeepchartDevId Condition="'$(DeepchartDevId)' == ''">YOUR-DEV-ID</DeepchartDevId>
   

   Deepchart loads a local dll only when it carries the id of the logged user.

3. Build

   dotnet build src/DeepchartIndicators.csproj
   

   The dll is written to Documents\Deepchart\Indicators, the folder Deepchart loads local indicators from.

   If Deepchart is not installed in C:\Program Files\Volumetrica Trading\Deepchart\, pass its folder:

   dotnet build src/DeepchartIndicators.csproj -p:DeepchartDir="D:\Apps\Deepchart"
   
4. Add an indicator to a chart

   Open a chart in Deepchart and open the indicator list. The examples are under Personal, with names starting with Example -.

Deepchart watches the indicators folder: after a new build, the dll is loaded again without restarting the app.

Write your first indicator

Copy src/Basics/SimpleMovingAverage.cs, rename the class and change the name returned by Register(). Each class in the dll with a Register() method is one indicator in the list.

Then read Life cycle to learn when each method is called.
