Hi,
Thanks for the replay. I am using same broker and same account for log in Tredingview and cTrader. FpMarket is broker.
YEs, but the underlying broker for Trading View is Trading view. FP Market's own website says, “TradingView provides real-time market data, including price quotes, volume, and other relevant information”. To me, that means Trading View charts on FP Markets don't use FP Market's price feed.
Hence they would have different price feeds, and thus different prices.

Seems to me you might have to use a second parameter that indicates whether or not you want to use the value from Local Storage (if available, because it might not have been set yet for the current time frame you are on), or use the setting that's chosen in the parameter field.

Each broker can set the size of a pip.
So yes, what you've shown in the size and number of decimals would have something to do with it.
Other people who are affected are those that trade indices. For instance, Pepperstone's pip size on NAS/Dow/Dax is 0.1 points whereas other brokers like Fusion Markets have a pip size is 0.01 points. So 100 pips on Fusion Markets on the NAS is 10 pips for anyone using Pepperstone's platform to trade NAS.

RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: Deleting Sample Bots that keep coming back
Ok, thanks, the terminolgy in my question was not too good. Understand VPS as you describe, but would you consider a Vps to be in “the cloud”?
No. It's not in the cloud. The VPS is located in a specific data center in a specific country with a specific IP address for trading the markets.
Ok on your SL lines… so I assume you wrote your own Bot which takes its value from the SL line, assume there is an event triggered when the line value changes which your bot responds to, and uses that value internally to watch the price, and issues the SL order when internally triggered ? Am I reading you correctly? Or perhaps you are setting the SL manually for individual trades on your VPS ?
Both. I wrote code that displays my own line on the charts, which I can drag, drop, and do everything else like you can with the normal SL/TP lines in cTrader.
I can move it manually; I can have a bot move it; again, just like the SL/TP lines in cTrader. :-)

THis could be for a multitude of reasons:
- the logic for calculating the SuperTrend could be slightly off or incorrect in one or the other platform
- different brokers receive different price feeds. As such, since prices could be different, that will affect ATR and also ST calculations
- The parameter you have for the ST in your bot could be different than the parameters you have for the indicator in cTrader that's actually displayed on the chart.
- and so on and so on…

Maybe do your own Google research on trading and on the different types of price action and patterns that occur on charts. When you learn about the different charts and patterns on each, you'll form your own conclusions.
Some times self-discovery is a wonderful thing.

Your points 2 & 3 should be posted in the “Suggestions” forum. This is a tech support forum.
Point #1 - from the screen capture you have posted, I don't see why you feel the stats are reversed? For instance, the 570 trades you have indicated - why do you feel those are “long” trades and not the “Short” trades as indicated?

It's an issue, and a similar one was already raised in the forums.
You can read their response here:

In a nutshell, they weren't going to look into it.

Item #2) you already have the selective visibility - just click the eyeball next to the indicator name on the chart. If the indicator names aren't visible on the chart, you can make them so by enabling “indicator tiles” under “visibility options” when right clicking on a chart:
Item #4) it's already there and has been for a while:

The procedure seems to be working. Interesting comments, thanks. I know what you mean about keeping SL,TP, and even pending orders out of the market's eye. Your comment raises some interesting thoughts and prompts me to ask these questions:
Do you mean the cTrader cloud or any cloud such as a VPS? Can you not email notify from either?
A VPS isn't the same. Most VPS's actually have access to a full server, the desktop, drives for saving data, everything. It's called a virtual private server for a reason - you have all functionalities as if it's your own server :-)
When you adjust a cTrader (Desktop) SL line as you mention above, this creates a SL value in the trade. Is this not registered on the market as an order? Meaning either cTrader or the broker administers it? I was never very comfortable about brokers seeing my SL levels either.
I didn't say cTrader Desktop SL line – I said “my own stoploss line”. So no, it's not registered on the cTrader servers - it's registered on my VPS. It's obviously dependent on my VPS having connectivity to the markets and since most are guaranteed to be up over 99% of the time, it's not too big a worry. I can drag/drop it like any line and it will be treated/executed as a SL line.
As a safety net, just in case my VPS does lose connectivity, I put in another cTrader registered SL that's a random 300-500 pips further away (so nobody in the markets can figure out the logic between the orders).

Where do I turn syncing off/on?
In the “Algo” section on the left menu. It'll be listed “Synchronisation enabled/disabled” under all the bots
Settings - Algo - Sync… got it…
Is the procedure I mention above the correct procedure? I must have deleted those darned bots in several places several times….
Thanks your help.
I don't know if that's the correct procedure or not, because I don't do any syncing. For me it's kind of pointless to run bots in the cloud since I like having email notifications, have my own “stop loss” line that I drag and drop (so the markets can't see my actual stop loss placements), etc etc.

RE: RE: Need help with Moving Averages and Fibonacci

firemyst said:
You have to make them as a C# Enum, and use the Enum in the parameter if you only want those specific values chosen.
Of course, you could always set the step in the parameter to something else like “5” instead of “1” as well. It won't land on the specific fib numbers, but it's less clicking to get there.
I did the following but I am missing something because it is not working, can you please help?
using System;
using System.Linq;
using cAlgo.API;
using cAlgo.API.Indicators;
using cAlgo.API.Internals;
using cAlgo.Indicators;
namespace cAlgo.Robots
{
[Robot(TimeZone = TimeZones.EEuropeStandardTime, AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]
public class Enum_Test : Robot
{
public enum FastValues
{
3,
5,
8,
13,
}
[Parameter("Fast Values")]
public FastValues P1 { get; set; }
public enum SlowValues
{
13,
21,
35,
55,
}
[Parameter("MA Slow Values")]
public SlowValues P2 { get; set; }
// MA FAST
[Parameter("Fast Source", Group = "Fast")]
public DataSeries MAfast { get; set; }
[Parameter("Fast Type", Group = "Fast")]
public MovingAverageType MAfasttype { get; set; }
private MovingAverage MA_fast;
// MA SLOW
[Parameter("Slow Source", Group = "Slow")]
public DataSeries MAslow { get; set; }
[Parameter("Slow Type", Group = "Slow")]
public MovingAverageType MAslowtype { get; set; }
private MovingAverage MA_slow;
protected override void OnStart()
{
MA_fast = Indicators.MovingAverage(MAfast, FastValues, MAfasttype);
MA_slow = Indicators.MovingAverage(MAslow, SlowValues, MAslowtype);
}
protected override void OnTick()
{
bool MA_fast_rise = Functions.IsRising(MA_fast.Result);
bool MA_fast_fall = Functions.IsFalling(MA_fast.Result);
bool MA_slow_rise = Functions.IsRising(MA_slow.Result);
bool MA_slow_fall = Functions.IsFalling(MA_slow.Result);
}
}
}
Your parameters to create the moving averages are incorrect. The second value needs to be an integer representing the length/period; you're passing it an enum type, but not the actual parameter value which is “P1” or “P2”.
Second, you need to convert it to an integer because P1 and P2 are enum types, not integers.
public enum FastValues
{
_1 = 1,
_2 = 2,
_3 = 3,
};
[Parameter("Fast Values", DefaultValue = FastValues._2)]
public FastValues P1 { get; set; }
MA_fast = Indicators.MovingAverage(MAfast, (int)P1, MAfasttype);
