Cbot Stopped
24 Jun 2020, 10:42

Dear All,I had download the following code from Ctrader website and try it in my demo account.

using System;
using cAlgo.API;
using cAlgo;
using cAlgo.Lib;

namespace cAlgo.Robots
{
    [Robot(AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]
    public class PayBackII : Robot
    {
        [Parameter("Initial Volume", DefaultValue = 10000, MinValue = 0)]
        public int InitialVolume { get; set; }
        [Parameter("Stop Loss", DefaultValue = 57)]
        public int StopLoss { get; set; }
        [Parameter("Take Profit", DefaultValue = 150)]
        public int TakeProfit { get; set; }

        const long microVolume = 1000;
        const string botLabel = "PB-";


        protected override void OnStart()
        {
            Positions.Opened += OnPositionOpened;
            Positions.Closed += OnPositionClosed;

            relanceOrders();
        }

        private void relanceOrders()
        {
            manageOpen(TradeType.Buy, InitialVolume);
            manageOpen(TradeType.Sell, InitialVolume);
        }

        private void manageOpen(TradeType tradeType, long volume, string prefixLabel = botLabel)
        {
            int nVolumePartition = 10, part1 = 5, part2 = 3;
            long nVol = (long)Math.Floor((double)(volume / (microVolume * nVolumePartition)));
            long partialVolume = nVol * microVolume;

            var result1 = ExecuteMarketOrder(tradeType, Symbol, partialVolume * part1, prefixLabel + tradeType.ToString() + "-1");
            var result2 = ExecuteMarketOrder(tradeType, Symbol, partialVolume * part2, prefixLabel + tradeType.ToString() + "-2");
            var result3 = ExecuteMarketOrder(tradeType, Symbol, volume - (part1 + part2) * partialVolume, prefixLabel + tradeType.ToString() + "-3");
        }

        private void manageClose()
        {
            foreach (var position in Positions)
            {
                if (position.TakeProfit.HasValue)
                {
                    string labelType = position.Label.Substring(position.Label.Length - 1, 1);
                    double potentialGainPips = ((position.TradeType == TradeType.Buy) ? 1 : -1) * (position.TakeProfit.Value - position.EntryPrice) / Symbol.PipSize;
                    double potentialLosePips = ((position.TradeType == TradeType.Buy) ? 1 : -1) * (position.StopLoss.Value - position.EntryPrice) / Symbol.PipSize;
                    double percentGain = position.Pips / potentialGainPips;
                    double percentLose = -position.Pips / potentialLosePips;

                    if ((percentGain >= 0.43) && (labelType == "3"))
                        ClosePosition(position);

                    if ((percentGain >= 0.76) && (labelType == "2"))
                        ClosePosition(position);

                    if ((percentLose <= -0.33) && (labelType == "1"))
                        ClosePosition(position);

                    if ((percentLose <= -0.66) && (labelType == "2"))
                        ClosePosition(position);
                }
            }
        }

        protected void OnPositionOpened(PositionOpenedEventArgs args)
        {
            var position = args.Position;

            ModifyPosition(position, position.pipsToStopLoss(Symbol, StopLoss), position.pipsToTakeProfit(Symbol, TakeProfit));
        }

        protected void OnPositionClosed(PositionClosedEventArgs args)
        {
            Position position = args.Position;

            if (position.Pips < 0)
                manageOpen(position.inverseTradeType(), position.Volume, botLabel + "Mart-");

            if (Positions.Count == 0)
                relanceOrders();
        }

        protected override void OnTick()
        {
            manageClose();
        }

        protected override void OnError(Error error)
        {
            if (error.Code != ErrorCode.BadVolume)
            {
                Print("erreur : " + error.Code);
                Stop();
            }
        }
    }
}

When I do the backtest it was working fine, but When I run the same in a demo account, the positions are opened but immediately the Bot is stopped with following error. Could you please help to fix it?

Hi Vadivelan,

I cannot even build this cBot. It uses cAlgo.Lib which I am not even aware of. Did you try contacting the developer?

RE:

Hi Panagiotis,

Actually I had downloaded the bot from this forum

https://ctrader.com/algos/cbots/show/505

But I got the error for missing Calgo.lib. Similar discussions are already done in the forum and I found the solution as posted earlier by forum members.

https://calgobots.codeplex.com/

I had downloaded the library files from the link and now I able to build the code, but not able to crack the reason for this error. If you could support for this error this will help us for the previous post also.

Thanks and Regards

RE: RE:Cbot Strategy

Hi Panagiotis,

I had downloaded some source files from the below link and I found some files named strategies. Could you please advice how to link these strategies to the Cbot. I had already tried to save strategy file as Indicator/Cbot but not succeed. Could you please support what I have to do the strategy file to link into Cbot.

			ema55 = Robot.Indicators.ExponentialMovingAverage(Robot.MarketSeries.Close, 55);
		}

		public override TradeType? signal()

Hi Vadivelan,

You can read how to create cBots/Indicators here. However these strategies seem to use custom libraries which you will need to add as references. I do not know where to find them so it would be better to contact the cBot creators for more detailed support.

Best Regards,
