Hello,

Visual Backtesting will be available in the future, then it will be possible to use DrawText while backtesting.  For the time being the print log seems to be the only way to do this.  Maybe you can create an indicator from this log if you save it to file and then you can visualize it on the chart?

Hi,

Thank you for the suggestion. We have it in our plans to deliver Range bars, along with other tick charts (like renko bars and tick bars), in the future.

Welcome to our forums. We understand the need of multi-time frame feature and use in both cTrader and cAlgo.

We are currently working on many features. One of them is multi-time frame. It is expected to be delivered in the future.

Hello,

I believe that you can upload more than one file.  So, if you're referencing other indicators you just upload those at the same time.

Yes, thank you simons847. You can upload Referenced files together with your source code. The files will be visible and able to be downloaded as one zip file.

Hello,

Actually to test if the code in the sample is correct or not, simply use the 'Sample SMA' on a chart with a period of 1. If last value is Current Close price then the code is correct.

Additionally, after testing the code below:

for (int i = index - Periods; i < index; i++)

with input parameter of 1, you can clearly see the the prices are off and last SMA with 1 period is not the current close.

Please let us know if you have any more question.

Please look at the examples in the API Reference for the methods in [ChartObjects]. If you like to DrawText everytime the order is executed you should use this in the  OnPositionOpened method.

For example:

		protected override void OnPositionOpened(Position openedPosition)
		{
			ChartObjects.DrawText("myObject", "text", StaticPosition.TopLeft);
		}

You could use a for loop

For example:

            for(int i = 1; i < 4; i++)
            {
                if (_macdHistogram.Histogram[index - i] > _macdHistogram.Signal[index - i])
                {
                    // do something
                    break;
                }
            }

You may insert images by clicking on the last button of this editor and entering the Image URL in the Remote tab. In this case it would be http://fxpro.ctrader.com/images/screens/DfP5n.png

You may use the WebRequest class of System.NET namespace for accessing data from the Internet.

See the example here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.webrequest.aspx.

Thank you for the suggestion Tradermatrix.  A competition for cBot trading is in our plans for the near future.

Do you mean the number of trendbars differ from day to day?

admin

Thank you for the suggestion. We will consider adding such an event to the API.

Are you using this code in the OnBar event or the OnTick? In the backtest the ticks will be as close to reality as possible but not exact. Therefore there will be some difference from what you see on the chart and what your backtest results will show. If the entry is triggered in the OnTick this could be the reason why. It is not possible to know without looking at the whole code. You may send it to support@ctrader.com for futher investigation.

Too many print statements will result to this unfortunately. Try to limit the print statements with a condition.

The Server property has only been made available in the Robots. We will make it available in the Indicators as well.
