My thought was:

Since I collected only m5 candle data for my Machine learning module I changed the “Data” in settings to “m5 bars from server” for backtesting 

and I was considering to change “protected override void OnTick()” to "protected override void OnBar()".
 

Is that wrong?

What is the best solution?

Thank you

Hi there, 

If you are using fixed SL and TP, you need to use tick data to ensure accurate results in backtesting.

Best regards,

Panagiotis

Okay, my cbot code uses

protected override void OnTick()

I still get wrong TP.

You need to use tick data on your backtesting settings. OnTick() is irrelevant.

 

Where does the option “m5 bars from server” come from?

 

 I thought the system provided the best possible set-up because of my csv file, which contains only m5 bars data. 

 

I don't understand what you mean. It's just an option in a dropdown list

Hello,

Thank you for responding. If i want to create an algo with two mannually drawn trendlines (line-A and line-B). Logic is if the price crossed below Line-A buy the ticker and if the price touches the Line-B close the position.

 

Is this possible to implement? this needs algo to read the mannuaaly drawn trendline, identify it and calculate the price based on the line. Point me if there are any examples/documentation on this on how to implement this.

Hi there,

Yes it is possible to do this but there is no specific documentation for this since this is rudimentary algebra and not a cTrader specific issue. A trendline's equation is ax+b, you need to use it to find the value of the trendline on each bar and determine if the price has crossed it or not.

Best regards,

Panagiotis

 

 

if im drawing the line on the chart mannually (NOT via algo), 

1. how i can get values of a,x,b in the algo for that line?
2. If i draw multiple lines on the chart (mannually), how can distinguish between the lines? As i can see when i draw a line on the chart, i cant name the line

 

 

Hi there,

1. ChartTrendLine has Time1, Time1, Y1(start price) and Y2(end price) properties. You can use them to calculate a,x and b.
2. There is no easy way to do this. Names for the lines are assigned automatically by cTrader.

Obsolete documentation has been removed and obsolete classes are not documented, they are kept for backward compatibility only.

Indeed links to types would be helpful but you can still easily search them on the search bar.

Hi there,

Can you provide a better explanation of the problem? What do you mean when you say “is too large”? How can we see this?

Best regards,

Panagiotis

The longer the horizontal bar in the red box, the fewer the number of candlesticks in the chart, and the shorter, the more. The short one represents the M1 chart, which has too many candle sticks. I hope it could be like a range chart, where more K-line data is downloaded only when you drag it to the left. Without dragging, only a part of the  candle sticks are displayed. The number of  candle sticks in the M1 chart is very large when the software is opened. I hope it could be as few as the range chart. When I want to see more data, I can just drag it to left.

Hi there,

There is no way to reduce the number of loaded bars at the moment. However I cannot reproduce any delays. Can you provide more information? Can you record a video where we can see what you are experiencing?

As shown in the image, my cbot is called “stop10”, but I can't find it in the dropdown list as you mentioned! So where can I find the log of my cbot???

Hi there,

The first screenshot comes from the Trade section, the second comes from the Algo section. If you will run the cBot in the algo section, you will not see the logs in the Trade section but in the Algo section.
