Did you tried on our FIX samples? and you can't have two FIX session at the same time, you can only have one active connected FIX session.

Hi,

You can use History with Linq:

var grossProfitTotal = History.Select(trade => trade.GrossProfit).Sum();
var netProfitTotal = History.Select(trade => trade.NetProfit).Sum();

Hi,

Can't you zoom out? switch to a larger time frame?

If you want to automatically mark some kind of pattern or support and resistance levels then you can develop an indicator for that based on your own calculation logic/formula.

Hi,

Not sure what do you mean by color candle, but for inside bar calculation you can use this method:

        /// <summary>
        /// Returns True if the index bar is an inside bar
        /// </summary>
        /// <param name="bars"></param>
        /// <param name="index">The bar index number in a market series</param>
        /// <returns>bool</returns>
        private bool IsInsideBar(Bars bars, int index)
        {
            var currentBar = bars[index];
            var previousBar = bars[index - 1];

            var currentBarType = currentBar.Close > currentBar.Open ? 1 : 0;
            var previousBarType = previousBar.Close > previousBar.Open ? 1 : 0;

            return currentBar.High < previousBar.High && currentBar.Low > previousBar.Low && currentBarType != previousBarType;
        }

Hi,

The cTrader Polynomial Regression Channel does repaint because it's retrofitted to price action.

You can try Bollinger Bands, Keltner Channels, and Donchain channel indicators.

Hi,

Spread is the difference between a symbol Bid and Ask price levels, so to get spread you need both bid and ask price of a symbol and then you can subtract one from another and get the spread.

To get live price quotes you have to subscribe to a symbol spot event, and after that you will keep getting price quotes unless you unsubscribe from the event.

Hi,

You can use Position Pips property to get the current Pips amount of Position, ex:

using cAlgo.API;

namespace cAlgo.Robots
{
    [Robot(TimeZone = TimeZones.EasternStandardTime, AccessRights = AccessRights.FullAccess)]
    public class AUDJPY : Robot
    {
        [Parameter("Trade Size", DefaultValue = 1000, MinValue = 0.01)]
        public double Size { get; set; }

        [Parameter("Stop Loss (Pips)", DefaultValue = 15, MinValue = 2)]
        public int SL { get; set; }

        [Parameter("Take Profit (Pips)", DefaultValue = 35, MinValue = 2)]
        public int TP { get; set; }

        protected override void OnStart()
        {
            ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Buy, SymbolName, Size, SymbolName, 0, 10);
        }

        protected override void OnTick()
        {
            // It iterates over all positions
            foreach (var position in Positions)
            {
                // if position is 5 pips in profit
                if (position.Pips == 5)
                {
                    // Do something here, ex: execute a new order
                }
                // if position is 5 pips in lose
                else if (position.Pips == -5)

Hi,

The Chart FindObject method returns a ChartObject which is the base class of all other chart objects.

ChartObject class has no y value property, you should cast it to ChartHorizontalLine class, ex:

using cAlgo.API;

namespace cAlgo
{
    [Indicator(IsOverlay = true, TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC, AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]
    public class NewIndicator : Indicator
    {
        protected override void Initialize()
        {
            // The line is a ChartHorizontalLine object
            var line = Chart.DrawHorizontalLine("myLine", Bars.LowPrices[Chart.LastVisibleBarIndex], Color.Red);

            // Now to get the line back
            var myLine = Chart.FindObject("myLine") as ChartHorizontalLine;

            if (myLine != null)
            {
                var yValue = myLine.Y;

                Print(yValue);
            }
        }

        public override void Calculate(int index)
        {
        }
    }
}

            {

            double adxLastLevel = _adx.ADX.Last(1);
            double adxPreviousLevel = _adx.ADX.Last(2);

            if (adxType == ADXType.Gradient)
            {
                // it will return true if ADX is raising and it's above 25
                if (adxLastLevel > adxPreviousLevel && adxLastLevel > 25)
                {
                    return true;
                }
            }
            else
            {
                if (adxLastLevel > adxLevel)

                }
            }

Hi,

Yes, it's possible, you can develop a cBot that will run on the background and whenever you execute an order it can set SL/TP based on your written logic.

You can also use Chart controls to build something more interactive with buttons and other type of controls.

Hello,

I have now tested the code you provided and it works well, thank you very much. I was not able to test it earlier because I did not work set the position.count  to > 2 (my bot executes 2 orders at once), which made me think I had to call your code using the OnTick() function for it to work. However, I am still having the problem of the levels not closing at the exact specified pip amount  (like with StopLoss or Take Profit). Is there a way of improving the accuracy at which the pips close?

Thanks for your patience so far.

Hi,

What do you mean by levels not closing at the exact specified pip amount?

The bot closes a portion of your position when its Pips reach your set amount.

Hi,

There are different ways to select bars, one is by mouse click event that you can use when user click on one bar and then on another bar, you can get the mouse click bar index.

You can also use Rectangle which is much better way than using mouse click event, use Chart object events like chart object added, check the rectangle Time1 and Time2 properties and change it to bar index.

Here is an example with rectangle:

using cAlgo.API;
using System.Linq;

namespace cAlgo
{
    [Indicator(IsOverlay = true, TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC, AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]
    public class CandlesSelectionWithRectangle : Indicator
    {
        protected override void Initialize()
        {
            Chart.ObjectsAdded += Chart_ObjectsAdded;
        }

        private void Chart_ObjectsAdded(ChartObjectsAddedEventArgs obj)
        {
            var chartRectangleObject = obj.ChartObjects.FirstOrDefault(chartObject => chartObject.ObjectType == ChartObjectType.Rectangle);

            if (chartRectangleObject == null) return;

            var rectangle = chartRectangleObject as ChartRectangle;

            var startTime = rectangle.Time1 < rectangle.Time2 ? rectangle.Time1 : rectangle.Time2;
            var endTime = rectangle.Time1 < rectangle.Time2 ? rectangle.Time2 : rectangle.Time1;

            var startBarIndex = Bars.OpenTimes.GetIndexByTime(startTime);
            var endBarIndex = Bars.OpenTimes.GetIndexByTime(endTime);

            Print("startBarIndex: {0} | endBarIndex: {1}", startBarIndex, endBarIndex);

            for (int barIndex = startBarIndex; barIndex <= endBarIndex; barIndex++)
            {
                var bar = Bars[barIndex];

                // do anythign you want to with the bars here
            }
        }

        public override void Calculate(int index)
        {
        }
    }
}

Create an instance of indicator on cTrader automate, draw a rectangle on your chart, check the logs tab.
