# MedianPrice (interface)

A Median Price is an average of one period’s high and low values.

Environments: Desktop supported · CLI supported · Cloud supported.

## Definition

```csharp
public interface MedianPrice
```

## Remarks

A Median Price is often used as a component for calculating other indicators.

## Examples

C#:

```csharp
private MedianPrice _price;
protected override void Initialize()
{
    _price = Indicators.MedianPrice();
}
public override void Calculate(int index)
{
    double price = _price.Result[index];
}
```

Python:

```python
import clr
clr.AddReference("cAlgo.API")

from cAlgo.API import *

class Test():
    def initialize(self):
        self.medianPrice = api.Indicators.MedianPrice()

    def calculate(self, index):
        price = self.medianPrice.Result[index]
```

C#:

```csharp
using cAlgo.API;
using cAlgo.API.Indicators;

namespace cAlgo.Robots
{
    // This sample cBot shows how to use the Median Price indicator
    public partial class MedianPriceSample : Robot
    {
        private double _volumeInUnits;

        private MedianPrice _medianPrice;

        public Position[] BotPositions
        {
            get
            {
                return Positions.FindAll(Label);
            }
        }

        protected override void OnStart()
        {
            _volumeInUnits = Symbol.QuantityToVolumeInUnits(VolumeInLots);

            _medianPrice = Indicators.MedianPrice();
        }

        protected override void OnBar()
        {
            if (Bars.ClosePrices.Last(1) > _medianPrice.Result.Last(1))
            {
                ClosePositions(TradeType.Sell);

                if (BotPositions.Length == 0)
                {
                    ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Buy, SymbolName, _volumeInUnits, Label, StopLossInPips, TakeProfitInPips);
                }
            }
            else if (Bars.ClosePrices.Last(1) < _medianPrice.Result.Last(1))
            {
                ClosePositions(TradeType.Buy);

                if (BotPositions.Length == 0)
                {
                    ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Sell, SymbolName, _volumeInUnits, Label, StopLossInPips, TakeProfitInPips);
                }
            }
        }

        private void ClosePositions(TradeType tradeType)
        {
            foreach (var position in BotPositions)
            {
                if (position.TradeType != tradeType) continue;

                ClosePosition(position);
            }
        }
    }
}
