In regards to your second point, why aren't you testing margin levels in your code _before_ sending the execute order? Your margin levels change dynamically, and the order execution isn't always instantaneous.

For instance, you could have margin level of 50% when you submit the order, but then price in another open position of yours drops, lowering your margin level below 50%, which means your order can no longer execute even though it had enough margin when you submitted the order.

//You should check your account's margin levels before sending the order
//just to be a bit safer
if (Account.MarginLevel.HasValue && Account.MarginLevel >= xxx)
  //execute your order
}

Hello,

It will be great to be able to attach order (limit or stop) to any indicator or object.

Kind regards

It would be great if you'd post this in the suggestion forum where it actually belongs:

JSON works perfectly with cAlgo. I use it in all my bots for saving states.

I'm using the NewtonSoft json package in Visual Studio.

You haven't stated anything on how you have your VS configured (if you're using it), nor any sample code reproducing your issue.

 

It simply says package "netwonsoft.json" is not supported, same thing with entityframework. so i reckon its blocked due to some reason. i am running .Net6.0, but i already removed these packages, i resorted to saving notepad files separated by random characters ;(

I suspect it may have something to do with the way it's been imported?

See with mine:

and it's a .Net 6.0 bot too:

and it's local to my machine when I add a reference in cTrader itself (make sure to do that instead of trying to add a reference in Visual Studio itself)

Use "args.Reason" to find the reason a position was closed.

 private void OnPositionsClosed(PositionClosedEventArgs args)
        {
         Print("Closed for reason {0}", args.Reason);
        }

This is a super basic feature - why is it not incorporated into the mobile version yet? This is 2023!

And a dark theme that's customizable and NOT based on whether the phone is set to a dark theme. Other apps like Google Maps, web browser, and such allow users to switch between dark/light theme manually independent of how the phone is set.

Would love to see this in cTrader. Should be native like it is with Trading View.

This is a multistep process:

1) create a global variable that counts the number of crossovers.

private int _maCrossOverCount;

2) In the OnStart method, set the count to zero:

_maCrossOverCount = 0;

3) Every time a cross over happens, increase the count by 1. However, you have to decide if you want the cross over to count if it happens when a "tick" comes in or a new bar. Reason being is obviously if the MA's are close, they could cross over hundreds of time within a bar on every tick depending on how much price fluctuates

if (_sma1.Result.LastValue > _sma2.Result.LastValue)
            {
              _maCrossOverCount += 1;



//and


if (_sma1.Result.LastValue < _sma2.Result.LastValue)
            {
              _maCrossOverCount += 1;

4) Check the crossover count before you open a position:

if (_maCrossOverCount > 1)

{

   /// code what you need to in order to open your position

}

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but the PRC is retrofitted to price action. Only the current value of the PRC is not repainted. This is similar to a linear regression channel which is also retrofitted to price action. This means that the entire graph is repainted, with the exception of the current value of the channel, which can be used for an automated strategy.

This has already been discussed somewhat here:

You should have enough to go on with the samples included in cTrader. I don't understand how none of those or any included in the cbot repository

can't help you but a sample macd zero crossing one will.

How do you expect anyone to help you if you don't post any of your code so people can see what you're code is doing and why it might be failing?

Since you haven't done that, edit your code in VIsual Studio and run it with debugging enabled.

I've experienced the same issue and I wasn't doing any backtesting -- only running a bot. 

Renko 6 EURJPY. Date/time is UTC + 8 running cTrader 4.7.12.

Chart on one computer under "automate" when running/stopping a cBot:

Chart on second computer in trading tab (automate has the same chart too on this computer that was not running any cBots) :

Hi firemyst,

I guess when the data is downloaded once, it is then cached and reused by other instances too

I would hope that's the way it is set to work. But if so, I think it would be better to only show one message saying data is being downloaded instead of 15 (like the screen capture) as that gives off the wrong impression.

Unless that's a "glitch" I came across :-)

Hi firemyst,

I suppose that your account currency is AUD and that's for currency conversion purposes.

Thank you. that makes sense.

But be that as it may, I'm not sure why there has to be 15 separate threads downloading the SAME conversion rate data? Surely Spotware could implement it so that the data is downloaded ONCE and then shared between any number of child threads that may launch?

What are you talking about?

Because from the way I read this, both those options are already there:

1) Pip counter - just right-click and add the column:

2) weekly profit/loss for week - click the drop down and select it:
