How to add and remove cBots with cTrader 5
How to add and remove cBots with cTrader 5
19 May 2024, 16:04
Hello!
It says with cTrader 5 there is now a way to add and remove other cBots through code. However the announcement in the feature highlights doesn't show any link or reference to the docs. Where can I find info on how to do this?
Thanks!

By chance do you have any ETA on when that will be available? I'm just trying to add an algo to a chart from another algo and I am getting an error "Adding robot My Algo 123 to chart d4bc8922-0b28-4237-aeb0-f2c325287f5f failed with error Chart d4bc8922-0b28-4237-aeb0-f2c325287f5f is not a valid chart for add robot operation.
Also what is a valid structure for passing the parameters to ChartRobots.Add?
Thanks!

Hi there,
You are probably trying to run the cBot an Algo chart. You should use it in the Trade section instead.

Hello, What do you mean by using it in the Trade section instead? Also, any update on the documentation for this?
Thanks!
