Position Label.
08 Sep 2017, 19:04

Good day Ctrader Team.

I would appreciate some help please.

The cBot needs to open 2 trades each with a different label, the easy part.

But I would like to know how can I, when a SMA is active, get the bot to open the second trade when the SMA crosses above the open trade with a already specified label?

For example:

if (sma > (first trade label)

{

ExecuteMarketOrder (TradeType.Buy, Symbol, Volume, 2ndTrade);

}

Thank you kindly.

Andre'

Dear ablouwrens,

Thanks for posting in our forum. Please see the code sample below and let us know if this is what you need

            var sma = Indicators.SimpleMovingAverage(MarketSeries.Median, 14);
            if (sma.Result.LastValue > Positions.Find("first trade label").EntryPrice)
            {
                ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Buy, Symbol, 1000, "2ndTrade");
            }

Best Regards,
