How do you mean "Post the code"?

I receive these notifications while cTrader is running and would like to disable them when I don't want them. There is no code involved here.

Which indicator do use in cTrader? Then it's possible to disable the notification in the code...

Both should work with method print(): Account.Balance or Account.Balance.ToString()

Cerunnos

You have to add {0}

Print("Account.Balance before the trade is {0} ", Account.Balance);

I am using a custom domain, hosted through Yahoo Small Business Hosting.

If I just create a new robot that sends an email OnStart, the error message I am getting now is:

12/12/2013 18:56:45.144 | Failed to send email "Test". System.Net.Mail.SmtpException: The SMTP server requires a secure connection or the client was not authenticated. The server response was: 5.7.1 Authentication required    at System.Net.Mail.SendMailAsyncResult.End(IAsyncResult result)    at System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient.SendMailCallback(IAsyncResult result)

 

Hi, in the e-mail settings of cAlgo you can enable "use authentication" with username & pw. It looks as if your SMTP server now requires authentication.

Is there a way for a robot to get the name or another identification of the broker or the account? I try to log data from two diferent brokers in two instances of cAlgo in two different external CSV-files. But they use the same robot.

Have you tried:

/api/reference/internals/iaccountprovider/getaccount-c8ec

It includes commissions one way.

But I'm the opinion that position.Netprofit includes already commissions...

Shouldn't be:

sum += position.NetProfit - position.Swap

or

sum += position.GrossProfit - position.Commissions - position.Swap


Or not?

The easiest way is using multiple robots with different currencies (different instances of your robot).
But you should better learn C # and cAlgo API. Then you can easily use in your code multi symbols:

var eurJpySeries = MarketData.GetSeries("EURJPY", TimeFrame);
var eurUsdSeries = MarketData.GetSeries("EURUSD", TimeFrame);

Aha, I didn't know about the Null bit. It still doesn't like it though:

Error: The type or namespace name 'DateTime' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Maybe "using system" is missing :-)

Hi Admin,

Is this implemented yet, could you give and example code for closing , for example , 25% of an open position?

Thank-you

There will be an implementation for it very soon.

Hi! I have not tested the following code. It's just a basic framework with which you can start. You will undoubtedly need to make adjustments and for that you need the basics in C # and cAlgo API. The strategy also seems a bit too easy. Improvements are certainly necessary. Happy coding...

RE:

Awesome, thanks!  :D

I noticed you replied to my other post too and I have a similar problem with this in that I don't know how to add it to the code I already have.

Also, I can change the email address as that is quite clear, but where do I edit/add the account balance or percentage?

In the declaration block add following code:

private double startingBalance;
private const double BalancePercent = 0.85;  // change the value = max. DrawDown

With Trade.ModifyPosition(position, _stopLoss, _takeProfit) you can add SL & TP (see example above)

Please add CheckBalance(); in method OnTick()

RE:

Kevin said:

Hi, does anyone know of a way to code in a kind of "fire-sale". I.e. when your equity hits a certain low, all trades are closed.

The idea being that a certain amount of equity is always protected, so I could (for example) go on holiday and leave a robot running without having to worry about it clearing my account. Although stop-losses should prevent this, it's possible with a series of bad trades and it would be typical that this would happen while I'm not watching.

protected override void OnStart()
        {
            startingBalance = Account.Balance;
        }

protected void CheckBalance()
        {
            if (Account.Equity <= startingBalance * BalancePercent)
            {
                foreach (var pos in Account.Positions)
                {
                    // If(pos.Label == "m10_Robot")
                    Trade.Close(pos);
                }
                Stop();
                Notifications.SendEmail("xy@domain.net", "xy@domain.net", "DrawDown!", "Robot was stopped! Check It!");
                Print("DrawDown!");
            }
        }

Hope that helps :-)
