Run a cBot for multiple currency pairs/codes/symbols
17 Aug 2022, 13:42

Hello cTrader-Community,

I want to run my bot on multiple currency pairs at the same time. Of course I could create new instances for all currency pairs, but that would be a bit too much overhead and not an elegant solution.
I have already found threads and example codes in the forum, but they are marked as obsolete/deprecated by the API. (https://ctrader.com/forum/cbot-support/2045 and https://ctrader.com/algos/cbots/show/391)

Can anyone help me with this, switching between multiple symbols/codes or currency pairs in a bot?

EDIT: I didn't see the forest for the trees....

PlaceStopLimitOrder(TradeType.Buy, "EURUSD", 1000, 1.027, 2);

Thank you and Best regards

Jonas

Hello Panagiotis,

thanks again for you fast reply! One more question regarding the multi-currency-pair-bot.

According to this forum post, there used to be a method to find out the pip size of a symbol. Unfortunately, this is no longer available:

https://ctrader.com/forum/cbot-support/22424

Symbol symbol = Symbols.GetSymbol("EURUSD")
 then I do

Print(symbol.PipSize," , ", symbol.PipValue)

Is there an alternative way to find out? Other than via a lookuptable if necessary?

Thanks and best regards

Jonas

Hi Jonas,

I am not sure what is the problem, the code you posted above should work fine.

Hi Panagiotis,

you're completely right. I don't know why my VS didn't accept it first.

Eveything is working now. Thank you again for your very good help!
