Hi Ryan,

You can use a flag to achieve this e.g. bool CanTrade. Set it to false when a trade is taken and then set it back to true when a new bar is opened.

Best regards,

Panagiotis

 

Thanks Panagiotis,

I have attempted the code below, but believe I am missing something as it places multiple trades per bar, but trader per bar after bar is opened. I attempted to limit positions with Positions.Count, but that stops it being placed per bar. 

 

Have I missed something?

 

Thanks for your help.

 

private bool _canTrade;
private int barCountSinceLastPosition;
        protected override void OnStart()
        {
            _ema1 = Indicators.GetIndicator<SampleEMA>(Source1, Period1);
            _ema2 = Indicators.GetIndicator<SampleEMA>(Source2, Period2);
             _ema3 = Indicators.GetIndicator<SampleEMA>(Source3, Period3);
            _rsi = Indicators.RelativeStrengthIndex(Source3, Period3);
           
           Bars.BarOpened += Bar_Opened;
         }
        
           void Bar_Opened(BarOpenedEventArgs args)
                   {
                      _canTrade = false;

                GoToBreakEven();
               
            var Ema1 = _ema1.Result.Last(0);
            var Ema2 = _ema2.Result.Last(0);
            var Ema1i = _ema1.Result.Last(2);
            var Ema2i = _ema2.Result.Last(2);
            var Ema3 = _ema3.Result.LastValue;
            var rising = _ema1.Result.IsRising();
            var falling = _ema2.Result.IsFalling();
            var rising2 = _ema2.Result.IsRising();
            var falling2 = _ema1.Result.IsFalling();
                          
             if (Ema1 > Ema2 && falling && falling2 && Symbol.Bid == Bars.OpenPrices.Last(0) - (pips * Symbol.PipSize))
            {
                
                   if (Positions.Count(x => x.TradeType == TradeType.Sell && x.Label == InstanceName) == 0)
                
                         {
                               double volume = Symbol.QuantityToVolumeInUnits(lotsize);
                               ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Sell, SymbolName, volume, InstanceName, SL, TP);
                
                           }
                               {
                                  _canTrade = true;
                               }
                                    if(_canTrade)
                                    {
                                        if (Ema1 > Ema2 && falling && falling2 && Symbol.Bid == Bars.OpenPrices.Last(0) - (pips * Symbol.PipSize))
                                         {

                                             ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Sell, SymbolName, volume, InstanceName, SL, TP);
                                         }
                                   }

                          {
                    CloseSell();
                     }

Hi Ryan,

_canTrade needs to be set to false in OnTick() and to true in OnBar()

I got the same issue recently. When I would try to use any objects like Trend Line or Fibonacci Fan and etc. it will get out of mouse control when market is ticking but when a symbol stopped or disabled I can draw properly.
Using cTrader 4.8.28 on Errante

Hi there,

Could you please send us some troubleshooting information the next time this happens? Please paste a link to this discussion inside the text box before you submit it.

Best regards,

I made a simple indicator that will cause this issue to occur 100% of the times. The line causing the issue is DrawText or drawing anything every tick, if I am drawing something or drawing on the chart window, the object will lose focus as soon as Calculate is invoked on the indicator.

Code below:

using System;using System.Collections.Generic;using System.Linq;using System.Text;using cAlgo.API;using cAlgo.API.Collections;using cAlgo.API.Indicators;using cAlgo.API.Internals;namespace cAlgo{    [Indicator(AccessRights = AccessRights.None, IsOverlay = false)]    public class DrawingBug : Indicator    {        public override void Calculate(int index)        {            IndicatorArea.RemoveObject("test");            IndicatorArea.DrawText("test", "BUG!!!", Bars.Last().OpenTime, 0, Color.Red);        }    }}

Hi razor_00,

Thank you, I have forwarded this to the product team for resolution. In the meanwhile, the issue is caused by the RemoveObject method, which in this case is redundant, you don't need to remove an object in order to redraw it. If you remove that line of code, it should fix the problem.

RE: cTrader Mobile - Unwanted notificationss

ncel01 said: 

Dear Panagiotis,

I am not convinced by your arguments, however I can accept this limitation.

In any case, the app act as an intermediary to send these notifications, which could be disabled/filtered in case an option for this was available.

I really believe that every step made by Spotware to provide traders with the tools to become less dependent on the brokers, would be highly appreciated by the community.

I've been noticing that some settings that are not even brokers' business but a sole traders' choice, still need to be requested to the brokers, which is very annoying (e.g. lowering an account leverage).

Thanks for considering the above.

Hi ncel01,

I am not trying to convince you about anything, I am explaining to you how it works. If you have a different opinion, feel free to post a suggestion and the product team will consider it.

Check out the GER40 today in multichart mode.

You can see the same numbers on the right side of both charts, but notice how one chart is screwed and says “100” pips while the other is correct and says “10” pips based on the values:

RE: cTrader Mobile - Unwanted notificationss

ncel01 said: 

Hello,

Yes, like any other user I have an account with some broker, but that's not the point to me.

Main point:

Would't make sense to have an option to turn the notifications off in the app itself? After all, these are sent via cTrader app, right?

Hi ncel01,

These notifications are sent by the broker, not by the cTrader app it self. In other words, they are not sent automatically by the platform as a response to an event happening in your account. They are sent by the broker on demand, it is equivalent to the broker emailing you directly. Therefore you need to talk to your broker regarding this matter.

• What is the exact problem you are trying to solve?

Best regards,

Hello Panagiotis and thanks for getting back to me

Ive been working too long on trying to fix the cBot, my brain was fried and I completely missed providing more information. Sorry about that. And pardon the messy look of the code. I used the “code” function, hope you can read it anyways.

- The major issue is that its not performing any Buys or Sells. Im not even sure if its the code or my settings for the demo account. The Log messages reads:

04/01/2024 02:00:00.000 | CBot instance [DanRobot, BTCUSD, Re40] started. 
04/01/2024 02:00:00.000 | Indicator instance [DoubleRenko, BTCUSD, Re40] loaded.

04/01/2024 02:00:00.000 | CBot instance [DanRobot, BTCUSD, Re40] crashed with error #F00E2180.

Lets start there and see if we can find a way to make the cBot work. Thanks /Bo
