Your bot is closing all positions because you tell it to:

private void CloseAllPositions()
        {
            foreach (var position in Positions)
            {
                ClosePosition(position);
            }
        }

If you only want to close positions that your bot has specifically opened, then it's a two step process:

1) when you open a position, you need to assign a label to it (eg, "acBotPosition"), which is a string.

2) when looping through all the open positions, only close those positions whose label matches "acBotPosition":

private void CloseAllPositions()
        {
            foreach (var position in Positions)
            {
                if (position.Label == "acBotPosition")
                    ClosePosition(position);
            }
        }

As for the cut scenario, I wouldn't use the "HasCrossedAbove" method.

Instead, I would use logic similar to the following:

if (_fastMA.Result.Last(1) > _slowMA.Result.Last(1))
{
	ExecuteStrategy(TradeType.Buy);
}
else if (_fastMA.Result.Last(1) < _slowMA.Result.Last(1))
{
	ExecuteStrategy(TradeType.Sell);
}

This happens a lot with WIndows Programs (not just cTrader). I find it happens when you have two displays that are different resolutions (eg, laptop screen FHD, monitor 4k) and the higher resolution monitor gets disconnected _before_ running program is brought over to the primary display. Windows remembers program display locations, so as a result, it appears off screen when the second display isn't connected any more. It's a hassle.

Ways to try fixing it which have helped me in the past:

Your watch list?

Since nobody else has spoken up, here's something you can try:

 - using your default settings file. You can find it in a location similar to:

In that file has the listing of your watch lists.

If you open that file up in Notepad, Notepad++, or some other similar text editor, it will have binary characters in it, but it will also have the symbols in your watch list, listed out.

For example, here's part of my watch list:

Why is this question posted under "Suggestions"?

This should be posted under

It sure is. Please post your question in the other groups for an answer. This forum is for "suggestions", not "questions".

Good afternoon everyone. Help me figure out how to make the TakeProfit and StopLoss indicator so that when its price approaches, it moves up (down). Thank you in advance.

I provided example logic in this thread:

No ! What it is ?

Have you tried to code anything for cTrader with its controls ?

 

Yes. And I've used external controls too like panels, checkboxes, etc, on my charts.

Spotware has plenty of examples on this website too:

Of course you're getting that error.

See what the API is expecting?

Not a double value, which you have as "0.001".

You need to pass it the "Bars" you want, or remove the first parameter entirely to use the current chart's bars.

if (distance between current ask or bid price and current take profit price is within x-pips of yourposition.TakeProfit.GetValueOrDefault())

{

    yourPosition.ModifyTakeProfitPrice( yourposition.TakeProfit.GetValueOrDefault() + (Symbol.PipSize * number of pips you want to move it forward);

}

To make sure Spotware gets and receives this, please also report it through cTrader:

In the text box, put the link to this thread.

If you can, also put in the technical details from the event-viewer you captured as well.

The code you have gets the EMA values for the Higher Time Frame, which is the daily chart.

The charts you're showing in the screen captures are the 4 hour charts.

So while on the GBPCHF 4-hour chart the fast email is below the slow ema, on the daily chart, the fast ema can still be above the slower ema, hence only the one arrow being displayed on the 4 hour.

Another FAIL on Spotware's part by whoever's in charge of the API team.
