Any equivalent function in cAlgo similar to RefreshRates in MT4?

Currently there is no such method, but rates are refreshed during any synchronous operation (synchronous trading methods, receiving new symbol, receiving new series).

Could you describe certain situation where you would like to use RefreshRates method?

Some algorithms that run on every tick may miss a tick if they haven't finished their computations before the new tick arrives.  It will be good if the final trade decision can be based on the latest price but unfortunately there is no way that we can do this in cAlgo.

We decided to add such function in future releases. Stay tuned.

Hi,

Is there any update on when this feature could be added?

Thanks!

We cannot provide a time estimate for release at the moment.

Is there a workaround, to update current prices (Bid and Ask from current Symbol) whithout left method "OnTick" (if using endless loop in OnTick)?

Yous said, that on synchronous operation (synchronous trading methods, receiving new symbol, receiving new series) price are updated. Can you give a example how i can update prices with such synchronous methods. Which method you mean with "receiving new symbol"? I try this ("Symbol symbol = MarketData.GetSymbol("USDJPY");"), but it does not work.

Thanks a lot

There is no any workaround. Please wait until we introduce RefreshData() method.
