Heiken Ashi cBot issue
24 Jan 2014, 05:31

Hey guys,

I'm new to cAlgo and i'm preparing a Heiken Ashi robot that buys or sells at the end of each bar depending on the direction.

Build is successful but it doesn't make any trades.

Please Help

//#reference: ..\Indicators\HeikenAshiJohn.algo
using System;
using System.Linq;
using cAlgo.API;
using cAlgo.API.Indicators;
using cAlgo.API.Internals;
using cAlgo.Indicators;

namespace cAlgo.Robots
{
    [Robot(TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC)]
    public class HAK : Robot
    {
        [Parameter("Initial Volume", DefaultValue = 10000, MinValue = 0)]
        public int InitialVolume { get; set; }

        [Parameter("Initial Stop Loss", DefaultValue = 40)]
        public int SL { get; set; }

        [Parameter("Initial Take Profit", DefaultValue = 40)]
        public int TP { get; set; }

        private HeikenAshiJohn HAJ;

        string label = "HAK";


        protected override void OnStart()
        {
            HAJ = Indicators.GetIndicator<HeikenAshiJohn>(1);
        }

        protected override void OnBar()
        {
            int index = MarketSeries.Close.Count - 2;

            Print("Open : " + HAJ.xOpen[index] + " | Close : " + HAJ.xClose[index] + " | Last : " + HAJ.xClose.LastValue);

            if (HAJ.xClose[index] < HAJ.xOpen[index])
            {
                ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Sell, Symbol, InitialVolume, label, SL, TP);
            }

            if (HAJ.xClose[index] > HAJ.xOpen[index])
            {
                ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Buy, Symbol, InitialVolume, label, SL, TP);
            }
        }
    }
}

I think it's probably the indicator. Post the code of that.

They need to be output:

e.g.

        [Output("xClose")]
        public IndicatorDataSeries xClose { get; set; }

etc.

RE:

Thank you for your help but it still doesn't trade after changing the indicator:

namespace cAlgo.Indicators
{
    [Indicator(IsOverlay = true, TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC)]
    public class HeikenAshiJohn : Indicator
    {
        [Parameter("Period", DefaultValue = 1, MinValue = 1, MaxValue = 2147483647)]
        public int ParameterPeriod { get; set; }

        [Output("xClose")]
        public IndicatorDataSeries xClose { get; set; }

        [Output("xHigh")]
        public IndicatorDataSeries xHigh { get; set; }

        [Output("xLow")]
        public IndicatorDataSeries xLow { get; set; }

        [Output("xOpen")]
        public IndicatorDataSeries xOpen { get; set; }

remove these lines also:

xClose = CreateDataSeries();
xHigh = CreateDataSeries();
xLow = CreateDataSeries();
xOpen = CreateDataSeries();

I've added some functions for cBots developers to use HA data in their bots.
