ATR indicator comparison, multiple timeframes, autotrading control, graph displaying
17 Dec 2019, 15:40


Greetings. Make a discount for a newbie in Ctrade cAlgo. Thanks.

 1. ATR indicator does exist - called via build-in Indicators. Yet can't display it on graph. Nevermind. In MT5 there is same called indicator ATR, but it has only timeframe and period options. In cTrade ATR has correcting option smooth, exponential, etc. Does anyone knows which one correction option is best to fit MT5 values?

2. Indicators are called without timeframe option. I would like to know if there is an option to use different timeframes indicators within same cAlgo script? To be exact i need multiple data rows with ability to call to persice data within row with no time shift.

3. cTrader is quite a friendly UI software. yet is there a build-in option within playmarket or iStore cTrader app to control cAlgo scripts? Options with webRequests are known. Yet interesting if missing something.

4. While using cAlgo scripts indicators are used. but they are not displayed at backtesting tab. Is there a way to draw graphs used for calculation from the cAlgo script?

P.S.Great software. Friendly community. Glad to join. Apologize if behaving unwanted.

Hi mr.polax.troy,

See below the answers to your questions

  1. I assume you refer to cTrader Automate. At the moment you cannot display indicators on the chart via cTrader Automate API.
  2. Most indicators have a source option. You can pass a source from another timeframe which you can get using MarketData.GetSeries() method.
  3. There is no such option at the moment.
  4. As explained in point 1, there is no such option. You will need to add the indicators manually.

Best Regards,
