So once more what end result do you want?

You have four candles what do you need to know?

Averages?

Highest?

Lowest?

You say you want to compare four candlesticks but you do not say what exactly it is you want to compare so how are we to give an answer if we do not know what end result your aiming at.

Say for example you want the highest value you then first compare the first two and you end up with the highest value of the first two, and this you compare to the third, so now you know the highest value from candle one two and three then you compare this to candle four and you are left with the one highest candle but i have no idea what you are trying to accomplish so please clarify.

I would be interested to compare the closing or the average of the last 4 candles and then use it in the logic for opening positions.

Thank you. I apologize if I did not specify well before I remembered to have said.

You could try the one of the Math functions first compare the first two then you get one end result then compare that with the third and what comes out of that with the fourth and so untill you are left with the result you want.

How? An example please.

Take a look at the Heiken Ashi formula which is an excellent example.

Like this:

/algos/indicators/show/60

or other?

Hi, 
I need to compare the closing price of four or more candlesticks. 

What is the best way?

Hi,

This is one of those things whose probably can not do :D

I think you can compare only two things ;)

Bye.

Waiting to see if you get other suggestions.

How would you compare two things?

@ Forex19: concerning the bad TP calculation, I think the problem is in 

private int LotStep = 3000;

you can change it  to LotStep = 1000 or 10000

Do you think that the error is in the value "3000" or variable declared "private" ?

@ Spotware: Forex19's robot places an order than modifies it, using old API classes "Trade.Create***MarketOrder(...)", and OnPositionOpened(...) where a new TP is set up; what is the best way to update this system to the new API?

I think a solution could be to try the following methods: ExecuteMarketOrderAsync(TradeType.***, Symbol, Volume, "My Label", OnExecuted); and 

private void OnExecuted(TradeResult result)
{
    if (result.IsSuccessful)
    {
       ModifyPosition(position, position.StopLoss, TakeProfitPrice);
}
}

does it can be a good solution?

Kind regards

 Could you better indicate which parts of the code update? And how exactly? 

Thank you very much.

In order to stop cBot by itself you can use Stop() method.

I've seen this method but it doesn't work.

I would not use any condition

You need to add using System.Linq;

I did not use System.Linq, now does not give me more error.

Can be used in Positions.Count a filter on the label instead of the Symbol?

Please look at the following example:

var eurUsdPositionsCount = Positions.Count(p => p.SymbolCode == "EURUSD");

 

Why gives me this error?:

Error CS1955: Non-invocable member 'cAlgo.API.Positions.Count' cannot be used like a method.

RE:

Please look at the following example:

So if I want to have separate count for two Symbol, should I use:

var eurUsdPositionsCount = Positions.Count(p => p.SymbolCode == "EURUSD");

and

var eurGbpPositionsCount = Positions.Count(p => p.SymbolCode == "EURGBP");

is correct?

The problem is that you use obsolete OnPositionOpened method with new ExecuteMarketOrder method. OnPositionOpened method works only if you create position using old trading API.

Instead of using OnPositionOpened method you need to subscribe to Positions.Opened event. But please keep in mind that it will be raised for all positions: 

/forum/whats-new/1937

 

I modified the code and used PositionOnOpened, and it seems to work properly. 

Thanks.

Can you post the "new" working  code here?

I'm also using this cbot and made some changes in so you can set the lotsize and lotstep size.

Thanks

The code in post n° 3 is the my starting point.
It is some time that I'm trying various modifications (as I discussed in this topic /forum/cbot-support/2475) but but without solving the problem.

It seems like calculating SMA over RSI doesn't suit your needs. If you want to display SMA and RSI into the same panel you need to write a custom indicator. In this case you will need to normalize somehow values of SMA to fit RSI scale.

The calculating SMA over RSI is good but I would like to have this so you can use it in other ways and not only on chart. 

Starting from the exact calculation would be easier to write a custom indicator. 

Can you help me, please?

First of all, add RSI to the chart:

Second of all, add Moving Average with source "Relative Strength Index":

As a result you will see moving average built over RSI:

It works. thanks 

Can you tell me which formula is used to normalize the SMA chart, on the scale of 0 -100 RSI chart?

In that example SMA is not normalized. SMA is build over RSI data series. That means that SMA[i] = (RSI[i] + RSI[i - 1] + ... RSI[i - period + 1]) / period

I don't understand the calculation to build SMA over RSI data series. 

You can actually see me please? 
Suppose, at this time, to have a RSI (14) = 65 and you want to build over the SMA (20) = 140.350 (for the currency Euro / Yan). 

What is the calculation? 

Thank you.

Probably you do not filter positions by the label somewhere in your code.

As I said he made several tests to filter the label in the various parts of the code. 
But I think there is another problem because the two cbots (as I have shown in the screenshot) are two different locations with the right label. 
The problem is in TP, which is not assigned. 
Do you have any suggestions on how and where to change the code?

Thanks

You have defined Point using Symbol.TickSize while the API Guide uses Symbol.PipSize to set a stop loss price when the stop loss is specified as a number of pips, which your trailing stop is. However, I am very new to cAlgo so I don't know if that solves it.

Nevermind. When I tested it, Symbol.Bid - 50 * Symbol.TickSize still appears to generate a valid price so I don't think that is it.

As I said I did several tests but I've always found the same error. 

Also I'm not an expert on cAlgo, but it would be important to understand whether this error comes from a bug or other.

TRADING_BAD_STOPS means that you have a mistake in the calculation of SL or TP levels

Hi,I have done several tests, using as suggested

Position position = args.Position; 
if (position.Label! = RF_Label) 
   return;

But if I run the two CBOT, together, the error occurs on the TP in one of the two CBOT (as I showed), while if I run only one of the two CBOT's okay. 

Why? How can I fix?

I understood that the error is in the calculation of TP levels. Why?

 If I filter positions with the label, the two CBOT should be independent and don't check what it does the other CBOT.

Thanks.
