Hi giuseppealessiof,

You need to provide more details like the cBot code and baclktesting parameters and dates so that we can reproduce this behavior and advise accordingly.

ok thank you very much for the answer but what I would like to know most of all is if I can have the opportunity to meet a code that writes me on the screen why the bot stops

thanks  a lot

@Panagiotis can confirm, but I don't believe there are any built in reasons or codes as to why a bot was stopped.

there is when a position is closed though.

When you assign a method to run when a positions closed event has happened, you can read the "args" parameter to get a reason.

Example:

private void Positions_Closed(PositionClosedEventArgs args)
{
Print("Position closed for reason {1}", args.Reason);
}

Otherwise, if you want to know a reason why a bot stopped, you'll have to put in all your own codes whereever you call the Stop() method. And then within the Stop method itself you'll have to check your codes to see which one occurred, or if one occurred that you either didn't account for or was beyond your control.

Hi giuseppealessiof,

The reasons that can cause a cBot to stop in backtesting are

1) You manually stop it pressing the Stop button

2) You call the Stop() somewhere in your code

3) An exception occurs.

4) Your account reaches 0 equity.

Points 3 and 4 are obvious from the log and chart respectively. If it is point 1 then you should know about it else check if point 2 is a valid reason anywhere in your code.

RE:

Maybe something like this:

private void StopBecause(string reason="unknown")
{
    Chart.DrawStaticText("StopMsg", reason , VerticalAlignment.Center, HorizontalAlignment.Center, "FFFFFFFF");
    Print("Stopped: ",reason);
    this.Stop();
}

Use Like:

 if(DateTime.Now.Hour==19) StopBecause("It is time for dinner.")
