Exp Color TSI Oscillator Strategy

Overview

Conversion of the MetaTrader 5 expert advisor Exp_ColorTSI-Oscillator into the StockSharp framework.
Reconstructs the ColorTSI oscillator: a double-smoothed True Strength Index with a delayed trigger line and multiple smoothing algorithms taken from SmoothAlgorithms.mqh.
Generates trades when the oscillator turns up or down relative to its lagged trigger, replicating the "swing reversal" style used by the original EA.

Indicator reconstruction

Applied price is selected through the ColorTsiAppliedPrice option (close, open, median, typical, weighted, Demark, etc.).
Price momentum (diff = price[n] - price[n-1]) and its absolute value are smoothed in two stages:
1. First stage: configurable ColorTsiSmoothingMethod (Sma, Ema, Smma, Lwma, Jjma, Jurx, Parma, T3, Vidya, Ama) with length FirstLength and phase FirstPhase for Jurik-like filters.
2. Second stage: identical method options with SecondLength/SecondPhase applied to the already-smoothed momentum series.
The oscillator output is TSI = 100 * smoothMomentum / smoothAbsMomentum. When the denominator is zero, the value is ignored.
A trigger line is obtained by delaying the TSI by TriggerShift bars, mirroring the MetaTrader buffer logic.
Historical values are stored so that SignalBar matches MetaTrader's CopyBuffer access pattern (index SignalBar = most recent closed bar examined, SignalBar + 1 = previous bar, etc.).

Trading rules

Calculations run on finished candles supplied by CandleType (default: 4-hour time frame).
Let TSI[k] be the oscillator value and Trigger[k] be the delayed series.
Bullish context: TSI[SignalBar + 1] > Trigger[SignalBar + 1] ⇒ the previous bar showed upward momentum.
- Close shorts if EnableShortExits is true.
- Open a long position when EnableLongEntries is true and TSI[SignalBar] ≤ Trigger[SignalBar], signalling an upswing after the pullback.
Bearish context: TSI[SignalBar + 1] < Trigger[SignalBar + 1] ⇒ the previous bar showed downward momentum.
- Close longs if EnableLongExits is true.
- Open a short position when EnableShortEntries is true and TSI[SignalBar] ≥ Trigger[SignalBar].
Entry signals are keyed by the time of the analysed bar plus one full timeframe; each signal can trigger at most one trade thanks to _lastLongEntryTime / _lastShortEntryTime guards.
All actions are executed with market orders. Existing opposite positions are closed before reversals.

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Default
`CandleType`	Data stream used for analysis. Supports any `DataType` (time, tick, volume candles).	H4 time frame
`Volume`	Fixed order size replacing the EA's money-management blocks. Must be > 0.	0.1
`FirstMethod`, `FirstLength`, `FirstPhase`	First smoothing stage for momentum and absolute momentum.	SMA, 12, 15
`SecondMethod`, `SecondLength`, `SecondPhase`	Second smoothing stage.	SMA, 12, 15
`PriceMode`	Applied price option feeding the oscillator.	Close
`SignalBar`	Bar shift used for evaluating signals (1 = last closed bar).	1
`TriggerShift`	Delay applied to the trigger line (1 reproduces original indicator).	1
`EnableLongEntries` / `EnableShortEntries`	Allow opening long/short trades.	true
`EnableLongExits` / `EnableShortExits`	Allow closing positions on opposite context.	true
`StopLossPoints`	Stop-loss distance in price points (converted with instrument `PriceStep`).	1000
`TakeProfitPoints`	Take-profit distance in price points.	2000

Risk management

The original EA relied on helper functions from TradeAlgorithms.mqh for SL/TP placement. The C# version calls StartProtection with the selected distances converted to UnitTypes.Point.
If either distance is set to 0, the corresponding protective order is omitted.
No trailing stops or position scaling are implemented; these match the MetaTrader behaviour for this expert.

Differences from the MetaTrader version

Margin-based lot sizing (MM and MMMode) is replaced by a fixed Volume parameter. This keeps the behaviour deterministic across brokers and avoids replicating account-specific leverage logic.
Slippage (Deviation_) is not emulated because StockSharp market orders do not expose a slippage parameter.
Indicator smoothing is fully reconstructed using StockSharp indicators (including Jurik phase handling through reflection), so signal values are consistent with the original buffers.
Python implementation is intentionally omitted as requested.

Usage notes

Ensure the selected security provides the candle type requested by CandleType. For standard timeframes use TimeSpan.FromHours(x).TimeFrame().
SignalBar must be ≥ TriggerShift to obtain valid trigger values; otherwise signals are skipped until enough history accumulates.
Because the strategy reacts on finished candles, enable real-time order registration only after IsFormedAndOnlineAndAllowTrading() becomes true.
The chart area visualises price candles and executed trades; indicators are reconstructed internally and are not auto-plotted.
To reproduce the MetaTrader defaults: keep all smoothing settings at SMA with length 12, keep both entry and exit toggles enabled, and use the default stop/take distances.
