Dashboard using CTrader API Data
07 Dec 2021, 12:22


Hey all!

 

I'm wondering how can I create a dashboard using CTrader data. It is like a indicator, but a dashboard where it shows the instruments selected in rows, and their status in columns.

 

Something like:

Instrument 1             M5 - Bear             H1 -  Bull               H4 - Bull

Instrument 2             M5 - Bear             H1 - Bear              H4 - Bull

 

To determine the instrument status on each timeframe it needs to follow the rules of my trading system, which is basically moving averages. My trading rules are simple, the biggest challenge is find instruments with the perfect setup to trade that day, thats why a Dashboard where it shows a lot of instruments and their status will be a big help, so I don't need to keep moving intrument to instrument everyday to find good setups. (I classify them with 7 status - Weak Bull, Bull, Strong Bull, Flat, Weak Bear, Bear, Strong Bear)

 

I have some Python knowledge, but I really have no idea where to start. And I don't know if something like that can be done with Python.

Any suggestions? (videos/documents to see). Or maybe an already created dashboard where I can go and customize with my rules.

 

My idea is having some application running outside CTrader, not into a chart. But this is not mandatory.

 

Thanks!

Hi,

You can create a dashboard with Automate API, there are lots of possible ways you can create a dashboard.

You can use ChartObjects, Chart controls, WinForms, or WPF.

If you have no knowledge of C# and .NET then it will be hard for you, but you can try and search on cTrader.com for dashboard, you might find some open source indicators that you can modify based on your needs.
