Look at your print statement. How many variables are you trying to print? And how many do you have listed as parameters?

The clouds uses output color which user can change, the color is not hardcoded, the output names are.

How does a user change the output color?

I have several indicators with "clouds" on them and cannot see anywhere in the indicator properties to change the colors of the clouds between the lines -- only the "lines" that make up the indicator.

Nothing in the online API reference seems to indicate how either:

https://ctrader.com/api/reference/cloudattribute

Thank you

Hi,
If one output line goes above the other then the color change to that output line color. you don't have to provide the color for cloud attribute, that's optional.

Thank you! That helps! I think most programmers see that listed, so they put that in. At least, with all the cloud indicators i've downloaded I can't change any of those colors; the example in the API guide I found does.

Where do you call the indicator to get it's latest data?

OnBar? OnTick?

A submethod?

In there, you would put the call to get the latest data in a try-catch block. If there's an exception, you can either:

1) log it to the output and keep the cbot runnign

2) set a "flag" of some sort, stop the bot if the flag is set, or again just have it log to output.

It depends on what you need/want to happen.

While a nice feature (and finally catching up with the competition), it would be nice if the Spotware cTrader team even allowed these to be changed programmatically.

Well, I'lm not sure how/why you expect the indicator to work that you provided the link to. When I looked at the page, it has numerous parameters that it's expected other than "source":

[Parameter("Source", Group = "Base Settings", DefaultValue = "Close")]

public DataSeries Source { get; set; }

[Parameter("Oversold Level", DefaultValue = 20, MinValue = 1, Step = 1)]

public int Oversold { get; set; }

[Parameter("Overbought Level", DefaultValue = 80, MinValue = 1, Step = 1)]

public int Overbought { get; set; }

[Parameter("RSI Periods", DefaultValue = 14, MinValue = 2)]

public int RSIPeriod { get; set; }

[Parameter("Stochastic K%", DefaultValue = 3, Step = 1, MinValue = 2)]

public int StochK { get; set; }

[Parameter("Stochastic D%", DefaultValue = 3, Step = 1, MinValue = 2)]

public int StochD { get; set; }

[Parameter("Stochastic Periods", DefaultValue = 14, Step = 1, MinValue = 2)]

public int StochPeriods { get; set; }

If you expect to use that one in your cBot, you have to have it something like the following:

Indicators.GetIndicator<StochasticRSI>(Source, Oversold, Overbought, RSIPeriod, STochK, StochD, StochPeriods);

with values obviously for all the parameters you supply.

Hi firemyst,

My suggestion is the followng

In OnBar enable a timer with an interval e.g. 1 second

On each timer interval execute your checks and logic. Between the intervals, the main thread is freed to update the information

After your job is finished, stop the timer

Best Regards,

Thanks @Panagiotis!

I tried the above, and it worked as I wanted. I set the interval for 10 seconds instead of 1 second because the spreads seem to be crazy for almost the full hour.

For everyone's info, here's a sample output showing just how crazily pip spreads occur during the "OnBar" event on the immediate bar(s) after the NY Session close. This is with the GBPNZD pair (with the latest time at the top). That spread is usually 3-4 pips during normal trading hours. The code used to calculate the spread at the time is the exact same code as my sample in my post above.

Time is UTC + 8:

Hi firemyst,

cBots run on the same thread as the UI, so when you put the thread to sleep, then the whole thread will sleep. Symbol informaton cannot be updated while the OnBar method is executed. To help you further, you wull need to explain to us what are you trying to achieve.

Best Regards,

HI @Panagiotis:

I'm coding a day trading strategy that only opens positions or manages positions during the "OnBar". This means, after the NY session close. However, as you're aware, the pip spread during that time as the servers around the world reset for the next "trading day" can be HUGE. That is, what might normally be like a 3 pip spread can turn into a possible 17 pip spread temporarily.

So what I want to do is execute the logic when a new bar is formed, but if the spread is greater than say 3 pips (since most pairs are under 3 during normal hours), I want to wait until the spreads return back to some normality. Hence the "while loop" i have in my sample code above. I cannot check if the spread is > 3 and if so, skip until next bar, because it will happen again each day as each new "OnBar" event occurs and the spreads again become greater than normal.

Does that make sense?

Thank you.

Hi,

If you know what time zone your indicator/cBot is running on and on which time the New York session ends then you can check if the OnBar/OnTick event is triggered during that time.

To change the time zone of DateTime you can use .NET TimeZoneInfo: Converting times between time zones | Microsoft Docs

Thank you for your reply.

Because after the New York session close, the next OnTick/OnBar events for each forex pair happens at different times. So I can't just say, "check at x o'clock.

For example, if I was in New York, in an OnBar event within a bot, I'd have to check if it is occurring between 5:00pm - 5:05pm. And if I'm on a time frame that's less than 5 minutes, I'd have to have a flag to indicate that I've already checked for the first bar after the close of the session.

Is that how you would do it? Or do you have any other ideas?

Thanks again.

You have error in the bolded code:

   if (Histogram boo 0 % prevHistogram < 0)
            {
                ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Buy, SymbolName, TradeAmount, "MACD", 1.5 * PrevATR, PrevATR);
            }
            else if (Histogram < 0 % prevHistogram > 0)
            {
                ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Sell, SymbolName, TradeAmount, "MACD", 1.5 * PrevATR, PrevATR);
            }

I *think* you want the following:

  if (Histogram > 0 && prevHistogram < 0)
            {
                ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Buy, SymbolName, TradeAmount, "MACD", 1.5 * PrevATR, PrevATR);
            }
            else if (Histogram < 0 && prevHistogram > 0)
            {
                ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Sell, SymbolName, TradeAmount, "MACD", 1.5 * PrevATR, PrevATR);
            }

My original single symbol cBot has dozens of private members (strings, integers, etc.). All those members were designed for a single symbol. Now that there are many symbols, each of them should have a different value per symbol. Is there an easy straight forward way to convert all the members from single to multi symbol?

Thanks

Yes.

Add [] onto the end of them to declare them as arrays.

int[]

double[]

etc etc

[0] is the first symbol's value, [1] is the second symbol's, so on and so forth. Hopefully after that, you won't have to make too many other changes to your code depending on how it's written.

What if I want to use OnTick for more than one symbol?

Thanks

All you have to do is subscribe to the Tick event for each symbol you want.

This thread talks about it for indicators, but it's the same for cBots:

Example: Bars.Tick += YourOnTickEventMethod;

thanl you very much, @firemyst, for your kind reply.

can you or the cTrader support team help me to understand, how I can implement this or a similar logic for m1 into a Renko cBot?

Kindest regards and a great and successful week,

I do not use Renko charts, so won't be able to help you there.

Need to get indicator values for another symbol-timeframe. But not all indicators have DataSeries or Bars parameter in definition.

OK:

MovingAverage(DataSeries source, int periods, MovingAverageType maType)

BollingerBands(DataSeries source, int periods, double standardDeviations, MovingAverageType maType)

AcceleratorOscillator(Bars bars)

MISSING:

Alligator(int jawsPeriods, int jawsShift, int teethPeriods, int teethShift, int lipsPeriods, int lipsShift)

AverageDirectionalMovementIndexRating(int periods)

CenterOfGravity(int length)

Am I missing something?

How can I get Alligator values for another symbol-timeframe?

To answer your first question, probably inexperience and lack of forward planning in their leadership team that develops built in indicators.

For instance, the Alligator is essentially 3 moving averages, so it's no more difficult for their indicator-team to add in a data-source to the Alligator indicator than it apparently is for the same team to add the "shift" parameter to their MovingAverage indicator (notice you can add "shift" to the Alligator, but not the MA?? Like that makes any sense?) .

It's API inconsistency at its finest.

The following business logic should help with finding it on say a M1 chart:

1) get the index of the open time of the bar when the position was opened. Ex: Bars.OpenTimes.GetIndexByTime(position open time);

2) get the index of the bar in which the position was closed. Ex: Bars.OpenTimes.GetIndexByTime(position close time);

3) loop from start to finish, checking the high and low of every bar in between the open and close time indexes you obtained in steps 1 and 2 above

Hi,

Most probably we will support officially Visual Studio 2022 after cTrader 4.2 release.

Are you able to provide an ETA or timeline on this? For all we know, cTrader 4.2 could be out next month, or 6 months, or even 12 months from now.

And then since you say we have to wait until after that release, we might have to wait yet another 12 months.

Thank you.
