Hi noob7,

Did you try checking executionEvent.Position.HasStopLoss and  executionEvent.Position.HasTakeProfit?

Hi noolohp,

he results always show that Bars.Last(1).OpenTime is 1 bar ahead of Bars.OpenTime[i]

Correct. The proble here is that sometimes i is > 1, therefore it points to an older date. There is clearly a logical error in your code. You need to debug it and understand what is wrong.

 Moreover, with regards to the mentioned code is there any possible alteration, in your opinion, to align the two value ?

No, because I have no idea what you are trying to do. I can only explain what you are doing which is probably not aligned with your intentions.

Hi there,

You can check the sample cBots in cTrader. like the Sample cBot Reference SMA

// -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//
//    This code is a cTrader Automate API example.
//
//    This cBot is intended to be used as a sample and does not guarantee any particular outcome or
//    profit of any kind. Use it at your own risk.
//    
//    All changes to this file might be lost on the next application update.
//    If you are going to modify this file please make a copy using the "Duplicate" command.
//
// -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

using System;
using System.Linq;
using cAlgo.API;
using cAlgo.API.Indicators;
using cAlgo.API.Internals;
using cAlgo.Indicators;

namespace cAlgo
{
    [Robot(TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC, AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]
    public class SamplecBotReferenceSMA : Robot
    {
        [Parameter("Source")]
        public DataSeries Source { get; set; }

        [Parameter("SMA Period", DefaultValue = 14)]
        public int SmaPeriod { get; set; }

        private SampleSMA sma;

        protected override void OnStart()
        {
            sma = Indicators.GetIndicator<SampleSMA>(Source, SmaPeriod);
        }

        protected override void OnTick()
        {
            Print("{0}", sma.Result.LastValue);
        }
    }
}

and the Sample RSI cBot

//    All changes to this file might be lost on the next application update.
//    If you are going to modify this file please make a copy using the "Duplicate" command.
//
//    The "Sample RSI cBot" will create a buy order when the Relative Strength Index indicator crosses the  level 30, 
//    and a Sell order when the RSI indicator crosses the level 70. The order is closed be either a Stop Loss, defined in 
//    the "Stop Loss" parameter, or by the opposite RSI crossing signal (buy orders close when RSI crosses the 70 level 
//    and sell orders are closed when RSI crosses the 30 level). 
//
//    The cBot can generate only one Buy or Sell order at any given time.

Hi there,

Thanks, you don't need to reproduce the entire logic inside the cBot. You just need to reference the indicator and check the values.

Hi noolohp,

as per my understanding Bars.OpenTime[] starts from [0] and surplus each time new bar is opened so with i++ the value of Bars.OpenTimes[i] should be the same as Bars.Last(1).OpenTime

But you run the loop from the beginning for each bar, therefore the condition (see below) that prints the curreBarOpenTime might become true before the last bar is reached.

    if (isCurrentBarRed && isPreviousBarRed && !isRedDriven)

Hi there,

It is not clear what are you trying to achieve here. What do you want the cBot to do? In general, Calculate is called on once for each bar for historical data and on each tick for the current bar.

Hi noolohp,

I am not sure why you expect the two values to match. Here you always pring the last value

  Print("method " + Bars.Last(1).OpenTime);

and here you print a value based on the i counter

    Print(curreBarOpenTime);

Hi nsvtrade,

You need to double click on the pop up window, not on the taskbar icon.

Can you explain what do you mean? I don't see any obvious problem on the chart.

Hi there,

No there is't. It's not possible to know the exact price for the stop loss unless the order is filled. Hence this behavior.

Dear pedroesplago,

ExecuteOrder(InitialQuantity, GetRandomTradeType());

to

ExecuteOrder(InitialQuantity, TradeType.Buy);

 and

            if (position.GrossProfit > 0)
            {
                ExecuteOrder(InitialQuantity, GetRandomTradeType());
            }
            else
            {
                ExecuteOrder(position.Quantity * 2, position.TradeType);
            }

to

            if (position.GrossProfit > 0)
            {
                ExecuteOrder(InitialQuantity, TradeType.Buy);
            }
            else
            {
                ExecuteOrder(position.Quantity * 2, TradeType.Buy);
            }
