Just remove the "OUTPUT" directive and keep it as a "public" property.

For example, instead of this:

 [Output("Referenced SMA Output")]
 public IndicatorDataSeries refSMA { get; set; }

Make it this. Note that when doing it this way you will have to do a CreateDataSeries() in the Initialize method:

public IndicatorDataSeries refSMA { get; set; }

If you need a work around, you can write your own indicator that combines the two into a single indicator area below the chart.

Also, you might want to do a search in the indicator archives to see if someone's already created one:

Hello
How do I know the name of the indicator in the IndicatorAreas?

For example, What is the name of the Chart.IndicatorAreas[0] indicator?

Try something like this:

Chart.IndicatorAreas[0].Objects[0].Name

Because each indicator area can have more than 1 object in it, you'll have to loop through all the objects to get all their names.

I don't want this!!

I want a code that gives me the name of the oscillator

I just gave you the general code above on what you have to do.

It's up to you to implement depending on the rest of your code.

I'm not going to write everything for you.

Dear All,

Can somebody help me with following. 

I have added Machine learning to my bot in Visual studio. 

When building the code into Ctrader, I get following error:

How can I solve it?

 

Thank you,

Step 1: Google the error message.

Step 2: Read the first response -- should be from GitHub - and try it.

I know. All's good. I'm not pointing fingers or anything at you :-)

I just can't believe some of the decisions Spotware makes at times. Almost every other app has developers that give users the choice of using a light, dark, or default system theme for using their software on mobile devices. Why Spotware decided to not do this as well (since they already had it as an option for charts) is just mind boggling.

Hi firemyst,

The new theme feature is set on the device level. So you need to set your device's theme as dark for cTrader to switch to dark mode.

Thanks @PanagiotisChar

Why did they change it to the device level??

Other apps allow us to set "light", "dark", or "device default" in their settings. How come @Spotware couldn't do that with cTrader?

Like writing emails, most people have those apps in light mode; now I want to use cTrader with dark charts... I gotta switch over the entire phone? They couldn't even leave the option at the chart level?

Awesome thanks heaps mate, you have really saved my bacon!! What kind of bots do you build? I build ML ones.

 

 

I'm not sure what you mean by "ML" ones?

I write bots and a few custom indicators that do my trading for me. "Hybrid ones" where I have a basic strategy programmed up with position management, but watch the trades for divergences (and other signs) to manage them myself.

I used to focus on trading the daily time frame, but now stick more to Renko charts (with my own Renko Wicks indicator) to avoid all the noise distracting me or stimulating my emotions.

> So sorry gus yes it worked with FullAccess using the launch debugger but it does not work with trying to attach, that is the normal way I try and do it with my bots.

> It says symbols have not been loaded. Looks like you have to specify the location of the symbols but I have never had to do that before.

Because everything now runs under its own process, you could have literally hundreds of calgo processes running, and wouldn't know which one to attach to.

The new way of debugging automatically handles that for you. When prompted, select the VS instance you're currently working in (as per the instructions on the web page) making sure you're running it in "debug" mode, and you'll be able to step through the code as per usual.

Thanks mate, the debugger is not launched but the code says it was.

Also when I try and attach it says that no symbols have been loaded for the current document. 

As I said I have been doing this for years but ever since the upgrade to support .net 6 it has never worked.

Here is some sample code.

        [Parameter(DefaultValue = "Hello world!")]
        public string Message { get; set; }

        [Parameter(DefaultValue = "Hello world!")]
        public string Message2 { get; set; }

        protected override void OnStart()
        {
            var result = System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Launch();

            if (result is false)
            {
                Print("Debugger launch failed");
            }
            else if (result is true)
            {

            }

            // Handle price updates here
        }
        
        protected override void OnBar()
        {
            double x = 0, y = 0, z = 0,p =0;

            for (int j = 0; j < 3; j++)
            {
                x = (float)Bars.ClosePrices.Last(j + 1);
                y = (float)Bars.OpenPrices.Last(j + 1);
                z = (float)Bars.HighPrices.Last(j + 1);
                p = (float)Bars.LowPrices.Last(j + 1);
            }
            Print(String.Format("lengths {0} {1} {2} {3}", x, y, z, p));

I like a lot of your suggestions. However, given the limited screen size of phones, I suppose to what end are the majority of traders using mobile vs a laptop/desktop for their primary trading operations?

For instance, I'm curious why you think it's "high priority" to manage cbots through the mobile app itself? Since cBots run on the specific computer they are installed on, your mobile device would have to connect back to that computer (through cTrader) and be able to take control of the cbot on that computer. And there would be a lag doing so. Basically, it would be just as efficient right now to install Microsoft's "remote desktop" application on your mobile device, "remote desktop" back to your computer with the cBot installed, and control it remotely that way. That's what I do anyway -- to connect to my VPS where I have cBots running.

Are they DLLs that come from elsewhere that you do not have the source code to?

Implement Renko wicks or if possible the full Renko range. I know there is an indicator that draw the wicks, but its using a lot of recources.

Having a full Renko implementation would give the platform a leap forward.

Hi, 

Many of the developers are waiting for encryption possibilities of code in cAlgo. This will open a broad marketplace for developers to monitize on their hard work. It will also bring new coders interesting in the platform. My question is, is this in progress? If so, when do you think it might be available.? 

cAlgo files are supposedly already encrypted - I doubt we'd get different types of "encryption" options though.

If you mean you want the code obfuscated, you can do that outside of cTrader before compiling.

One thing to try that's happened to me in the past, is:

1. put some indicators on the chart (a moving average, bollinger bands, etc) Just use the default settings
2. try putting a horizontal and/or vertical line drawing on your chart as well
3. scroll your chart. Change timeframe and scroll the chart again.

if you scroll your chart and the indicators  / lines do not move, then it's a bug with the Intel GPU drivers. This is known and has happened to me in the past. Update the Intel GPU drivers, restart cTrader, and hopefully it'll go away (as it did for me).

The other time something similar happened to me is when Windows automatically updated my computer in the background, and it was waiting for a pending restart. Once I restarted, it worked fine. So maybe check that as well.

If neither of these suit you, hopefully @Spotware can lend some insight. Great that you posted the video.

Sample code snippets to get the size of the previous candle:

private Bars bars;

// In your OnStart or Initialize method depending on whether cBot or indicator
bars = MarketData.GetBars(Chart.TimeFrame);


//In the Calculate, OnTick, or OnBar method depending on whether indicator or cBot and when you want to know the difference
//If you want the body size
double differenceInPips = Math.Abs(bars.OpenPrices.Last(1) - bars.ClosePrices.Last(1)) / Symbol.PipSize;

//If you want the entire candle. No Math.Abs function needed
double differenceInPips = (bars.HighPrices.Last(1) - bars.LowPrices.Last(1)) / Symbol.PipSize;
