Please, how can I use an indicator array for a bot. For example, an array with several RSI contained. I am trying and not succeeding, if anyone can help I will be grateful

Here's a very simple example using MovingAverages instead:

//class declaration
MovingAverage[] _maArray;

//In OnStart (cBot) or Initialize (indicator)
if (_maArray != null)
{
        //Clear out old data everytime we start so GC can collect
	Array.Clear(_maArray, 0, _maArray.Length);
	_maArray = null;
}
_maArray = new MovingAverage[theNumberOfMAObjectsYouWantToHave];

for (int x=0; x < _maArray.Length; x++)
{
	_maArray[x] = Indicators.MovingAverage(Bars.ClosePrices, thePeriodToUse, theMATypeToUse);
}

Can someone tell me how to put two RSI in the same code. The idea is to place two RSI with different configurations,

Declare two RSI objects and then create them with the specific parameters.

Example concept below using MovingAverages:

MovingAverage _ma1;
MovingAverage _ma2;

_ma1 = Indicators.MovingAverage(Bars.ClosePrices, MA1Period, MA1Type);
_ma2 = Indicators.MovingAverage(Bars.ClosePrices, MA2Period, MA2Type);

I've installed ctrader 3.7 freom 2 different brokers and visual studio 2019 on a new pc.

When I try to edit a cBot on visual studio i get the following error:

Can not download visual studio extention

I checked the extetions on the VS and cTrader extention is not installed

 

Pleas help 

You have to ask Spotware or @Panagiotis if cTrader is compatible with VS 2019.

how do I prevent the opening of a position and make the bot wait?

You put logic in your code that doesn't open a position until you want it to or your conditions are met.

RE: RE:

yuval.ein said:

Thank you

Is there a way to get the full indicator code?

You have to ask Spotware for that.

But in all seriousness, just Google it.

You take the latest value of the sma. That's the middle line.

The top and bottom lines are the standard deviations.

So you can easily code it yourself :-)

The gist of it:

double maResultIndex = _movingAverage.Result[altIndex];
double sd = StandardDeviation * _standardDeviation.Result[altIndex];

Main[index] = maResultIndex;
Top[index] = maResultIndex + sd;
Bottom[index] = maResultIndex - sd;

@Panagiotis, I found the root cause and managed to fix it.

For future reference, in my case, this was disabled for some reason!

Once I enabled this, the sounds started playing again as expected.

Thank you.

Hi giuseppealessiof,

You need to provide more details like the cBot code and baclktesting parameters and dates so that we can reproduce this behavior and advise accordingly.

Best Regards,

ok thank you very much for the answer but what I would like to know most of all is if I can have the opportunity to meet a code that writes me on the screen why the bot stops

 

thanks  a lot

@Panagiotis can confirm, but I don't believe there are any built in reasons or codes as to why a bot was stopped.

there is when a position is closed though.

When you assign a method to run when a positions closed event has happened, you can read the "args" parameter to get a reason.

Example:

private void Positions_Closed(PositionClosedEventArgs args)
{
Print("Position closed for reason {1}", args.Reason);
}

Otherwise, if you want to know a reason why a bot stopped, you'll have to put in all your own codes whereever you call the Stop() method. And then within the Stop method itself you'll have to check your codes to see which one occurred, or if one occurred that you either didn't account for or was beyond your control.

Hello,

my cTrader freezes on 2 monitors and also a new start doesnt help. So I want to do a new installation of cTrader.

How can I save my imported indicators and bots, so I dont have to import them all again after my new installation?

They are store in the following folder location:

C:\Users\[your login id]\Documents\cAlgo\Sources

Just copy them out somewhere safe.

Sharpie said:

can this feature on ctrader be updated so that it has this function of sorting the watch list by change percentage or price change or ascending/descending order. This will greatly help us monitoring quickly which pair moves a lot. Thanks.

If you have your own watch list, you can already sort by symbol name asc/desc (although it is a manual process).

Just left-click-and-hold on the symbol you want, and then drag it up/down to where you want it in the list.

Hope that helps?

I'm not sure what you're expecting to see?

When I load up your indicator on an M5 chart, and select the timeframe to be M15, it shows. When I change it from M15 to M5, they overlap.

When I change the chart to M15 chart, and put the timeframe on M5, they both show as they should. When I set them both to M15 on the M15 chart, they both overlap.

Could you add a pip counter for single and multiple pares in the top right page on a live trade, which we can if wanted be enlarged, it would help at a glance to see how the trade s going! On google its called a dig pip count! Thanks 

WHy don't you just use the "Positions" tab at the bottom of the chart to see all your open positions and pips in profit you are?

bienve.pf said:

Hello, I have tried to make a stopwatch independent of the ticks using the "Task" or "System.Threading.Timer" instruction in the Initialize function of an indicator. I have classified the variable that refers to the Task or thread as "static".

Both methods do not last. They stop after a few minutes.

How can I make a reliable counter inside an indicator without relying on ticks?

Regards.

 

 

public static System.Threading.Timer aTimer;
public static Task task = null;

bool Finished = false;
protected override void Initialize()
{

  aTimer = new System.Threading.Timer(TimerCallback2, null, 1000, 50);
  
  task = new Task(() =>
  {
      while (!this.Finished)
      {
          this.TimerCallback(null);
          System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(10);
      }
  });
  task.Start();

}

 

Why not just use a StopWatch object? The only timer I think you can reliably use is the built in timer within the cAlgo API.

You need to say, LineColor = "Orange" instead of "Color = Colors.Orange".
