How to create a cBot using a custom indicator
19 Sep 2024, 16:29


Hi ..

I am trying to create a cBot using signals from a custom indicator and I referred to the following discussion but could not find a way to add the referrence.

https://ctrader.com/forum/cbot-support/16179/

Please note that , I only have the .algo file ( means the indicator source code is not available ) and when I tried to add the referrence to the said indicator it does not showed up in “Reference Manager” window.

Then I tried with Browse option within that window but the indicator does not show ( as per the browsing window it only looks for .dll file ).

I am new to cTrader and looking for a help from a experience developer to learn. 

Thank you in advance

Hi there,

Indicators without source code cannot be referenced.

Best regards,

Does this mean , there is no way to use a custom indicator within a cBot like we do with meta trader?

You can but you need to have the source code.
