Hi there,

how can I test for the pip size of the last bar closed?

Here you go

 var barPipSize = Math.Abs(Bars.ClosePrices.Last(1) - Bars.OpenPrices.Last(1)) / Symbol.PipSize;

Best Regards,

Panagiotis

Thanks very much Panagiotis!

I've noticed at particular times when the London and New York hours overlap that the big banks move the markets, so I am trying to develop a cBot to look for these large aggressive buy and sell candles and “follow the whales” with a long or short trade. So 3 candles on a short time frame more than 20 pips could trigger an automated trade with a take profit and stop loss.

What method can I use to trigger a trade between specific UTC+3 times?

Really appreciate your help.

Thanks 
Steve

Hi Steve,

There is no specific method, you would need to implement the specific checks yourself by checking Server.Time.
