Hi firemyst,

You cannot use Output IndicatorDataSeries to do this since they have a one to one correspondence with the chart timeframe's bar. You need to be more inventive. Here is a solution

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using cAlgo.API;
using cAlgo.API.Indicators;

namespace cAlgo.Indicators
{
    [Indicator(IsOverlay = true, AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]
    public class Test : Indicator
    {
        [Parameter()]
        public TimeFrame SourceTimeFrame { get; set; }

        [Parameter("Min AF", DefaultValue = 0.02)]
        public double MinAF { get; set; }

        [Parameter("Max AF", DefaultValue = 0.2)]
        public double MaxAF { get; set; }

        [Output("Main", PlotType = PlotType.Points, LineStyle = LineStyle.Dots, LineColor = "White", Thickness = 2)]
        public IndicatorDataSeries Result { get; set; }

        private Bars _marketSeries;
        private ParabolicSAR _psar;

        int previousAltIndex = 0;

        protected override void Initialize()
        {
            if (SourceTimeFrame != null)
                _marketSeries = MarketData.GetBars(SourceTimeFrame, Symbol.Name);
            else
                _marketSeries = MarketData.GetBars(Bars.TimeFrame, Symbol.Name);

            _psar = Indicators.ParabolicSAR(_marketSeries, MinAF, MaxAF);
        }


        public override void Calculate(int index)
        {
            int altIndex = index;

            if (Bars.TimeFrame != _marketSeries.TimeFrame)
            {
                altIndex = _marketSeries.OpenTimes.GetIndexByTime(Bars.OpenTimes[index]);
            }

            if (Bars.TimeFrame != _marketSeries.TimeFrame)
            {
                altIndex = _marketSeries.OpenTimes.GetIndexByTime(Bars.OpenTimes[index]);
                for (int i = previousAltIndex; i < altIndex; i++)
                {
                    Chart.DrawIcon(_marketSeries.OpenTimes[i].ToString(), ChartIconType.Circle, _marketSeries.OpenTimes[i], _psar.Result[i], Color.Red);
                }
                altIndex = previousAltIndex;
            }

            // blah blah blah

        }
    }
}

Hi firemyst,

Did you try my code? It prints a line on the starting time of every bar for the lower timeframe

Hi Luca,

You can use the OnBar() method. Else you can check if the Bars.OpenTimes.LastValue has changed.

Hi firemyst,

OnCalculate method is called once per bar when the indicator is calculated for past values. Having that in mind, if you want your indicator to display values from lower timeframes, you need to write the corresponding logic that will take this into consideration. Here is a starting point, an indicator drawing vertical lines on lower tiimeframe open times

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

namespace cAlgo
{
    [Indicator(IsOverlay = true, TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC, AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]
    public class NewIndicator : Indicator
    {
        [Parameter(DefaultValue = 0.0)]
        public TimeFrame SourceTimeFrame { get; set; }

        [Output("Main")]
        public IndicatorDataSeries Result { get; set; }


        private Bars _marketSeries;
        int previousAltIndex = 0;
        protected override void Initialize()
        {
            if (SourceTimeFrame != null)
                _marketSeries = MarketData.GetBars(SourceTimeFrame, Symbol.Name);
            else
                _marketSeries = MarketData.GetBars(Bars.TimeFrame, Symbol.Name);
        }


        public override void Calculate(int index)
        {
            int altIndex = index;

            if (Bars.TimeFrame != _marketSeries.TimeFrame)
            {
                altIndex = _marketSeries.OpenTimes.GetIndexByTime(Bars.OpenTimes[index]);
                for(int i = previousAltIndex; i < altIndex; i++)
                {
                    Chart.DrawVerticalLine(_marketSeries.OpenTimes[i].ToString(), _marketSeries.OpenTimes[i], Color.Red);
                }
                altIndex = previousAltIndex;
            }

            // blah blah blah

        }
    }
}

Note that for current values, OnCalculate() is called on every tick, in case you need to take that into consideration.

Hi firemyst,

You will need to program your own methods to calculate those times.

Regarding

Does cTrader have the ability to plot 3 smaller time frame bar values in the space of 1 bar on a higher time frame?

I did not understand the question. You are trying to do something here but I do not understand what it is. Maybe it would be better to explain what are you trying to do instead discussing about a solution you thought would work.

Hi maciel.rafael1,

cTrader does not stop cBots. cBots are either stopped manually/automatically by the trader or due to some exception. Did you check your logs? Are there any messages there indicating why the cBot has stopped?

Hi cosacdaher,

Please help me understand why it didn't work

I cannot help you with this since there is not evidence it did not work. If you do not remember the Equity Stop Loss level then how do you know it did not work?

why was I allowed to copy an strategy with $100 if that was not enough margin to operate within the strategy

The minimum investment amount is set by the strategy provider, not by us. You were allowed to follow because this is what the strategy provider set as minimum

Hi arthur.albert990,

Hello PanagiotisCharalampous, i've tried to add an output to the code and the "Result" on Calculate() but i'm unable to obtain the result from macd, platform tells me that the ZeroLagMACD doesn't has a definition for Result.

If this is the indicator you use, then it doesn't :)

Here are your options

        [Output("Histogram", Color = Colors.Turquoise, PlotType = PlotType.Histogram)]
        public IndicatorDataSeries Histogram { get; set; }
 
        [Output("MACD", Color = Colors.Blue)]
        public IndicatorDataSeries MACD { get; set; }
 
        [Output("Signal", Color = Colors.Red, LineStyle = LineStyle.Lines)]
        public IndicatorDataSeries Signal { get; set; }

Hi Sam,

Here you go

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

namespace cAlgo.Robots
{
    [Robot(TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC, AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]
    public class NewcBot : Robot
    {
        [Parameter(DefaultValue = 0.0)]
        public double Parameter { get; set; }

        RelativeStrengthIndex _rsiDaily;
        RelativeStrengthIndex _rsiHourly;
        protected override void OnStart()
        {
            var dailyBars = MarketData.GetBars(TimeFrame.Daily);
            var hourlyBars = MarketData.GetBars(TimeFrame.Hour);
            _rsiDaily = Indicators.RelativeStrengthIndex(dailyBars.ClosePrices, 14);
            _rsiHourly = Indicators.RelativeStrengthIndex(hourlyBars.ClosePrices, 14);
        }

        protected override void OnBar()
        {
            if (_rsiDaily.Result.Last(1) > 60 && _rsiHourly.Result.Last(1) > 60)
            {
                ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Buy, Symbol.Name, 1000);
            }
        }

        protected override void OnStop()
        {
            // Put your deinitialization logic here
        }
    }
}

Hi arthur.albert990,

It does not display anything because you do not have any output. Read here how to create a custom indicator.

Hi Sam,

Here is the correct condition

            if (Positions.Count == 0)
