Hi Mark,

Is it possible in cTrader Automate to programmatically populate a data structure with the values that would make up a 1 hour candle constructed from mid prices, i.e. open mid, high mid, low mid and close mid?

Yes this is possible

Is GetTicks() the way to do this, i.e. get all the ticks from e.g. 10:00 am and 0 seconds to 10:59 and 59 seconds, then convert the ticks to mid price using the ask and the bid and then select the open, high, low and close from the mid price ticks to give me 4 values representing a 1 hour candle constructed from mid prices? 

Yes you should use GetTicks() for this. 

Also is GetTicks() able to get every tick in a 1 hour time frame or does it miss ticks, for example in MT4 the on-tick event is triggered by a tick, but if your algo is still processing this tick when the next tick arrives it will miss this next tick.

This is how it works in cTrader as well but this should not affect historical data. Ticks are stored on the server even if your client does not process them.

Hi ctid1074959,

as mentioned above, I have a variable called :"absolutehigh" for highest profit point for time period... the "absoluteHIgh" for the shorter time period is higher (25k) vs the onger time period of (17k)... this should NOT be

No, you did not provide this information in the original post. To help you further with this, you need to provide us with the complete cBot code and steps to reproduce this behavior e.g. cBot parameters or any other information we need to know.

Hi cumpac21,

Trades are not copied to your main account but in your subaccount, which is accessible only through the cTrader Copy section on cTrader Web. You should go through the documentation before using the service.

Hi ctid956028,

Yes but it is hosted in a third party application which we do not control. So we need the information requested above. If you cannot provide it, then the developer can do it.

Hi lazar.florinmihai,

Thanks for posting your issue but I am afraid I did not understand what the problem is. If you could describe it in another way or maybe record a video, it would be helpful.

Hi duketv,

If you check your log you will see an exception.

This happens because you have not initialized your Bollinger Bands indicator anywhere. Add this in OnStart()

 BollingerBands = Indicators.BollingerBands(Bars.ClosePrices, BbPeriods, BbStdDev, BbMaType);

On top of that, you are trying to modify a position that does not exist

        protected override void OnBar()
        {
            var bbTop = BollingerBands.Top.LastValue;
            var bbMain = BollingerBands.Main.LastValue;
            var bbBottom = BollingerBands.Bottom.LastValue;

            if (_sma1.Result.LastValue < Symbol.Bid & Macd.MACD.Last(0) > Macd.Signal.Last(0) & Macd.MACD.Last(0) < 0)
                ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Buy, this.SymbolName, Volume, InstanceName, null, null);
            Positions[0].ModifyStopLossPrice(bbBottom);

            if (_sma1.Result.LastValue > Symbol.Bid & Macd.MACD.Last(0) < Macd.Signal.Last(0) & Macd.MACD.Last(0) > 0)
                ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Sell, this.SymbolName, Volume, InstanceName, null, null);
            Positions[0].ModifyStopLossPrice(bbTop);
        }

Try this instead

        protected override void OnBar()
        {
            var bbTop = BollingerBands.Top.LastValue;
            var bbMain = BollingerBands.Main.LastValue;
            var bbBottom = BollingerBands.Bottom.LastValue;

            if (_sma1.Result.LastValue < Symbol.Bid & Macd.MACD.Last(0) > Macd.Signal.Last(0) & Macd.MACD.Last(0) < 0)
            {
                var position = ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Buy, this.SymbolName, Volume, InstanceName, null, null).Position;
                position.ModifyStopLossPrice(bbBottom);
            }

            if (_sma1.Result.LastValue > Symbol.Bid & Macd.MACD.Last(0) < Macd.Signal.Last(0) & Macd.MACD.Last(0) > 0)
            {
                var position = ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Sell, this.SymbolName, Volume, InstanceName, null, null).Position;
                position.ModifyStopLossPrice(bbTop);
            }
        }

Hi koktos632,

Yes, there is a possibility that Bars.Count will change while the cBot is running e.g. due to a reconnection and a refresh of the chart.

Hi cosacdaher,

I am also confused since the screenshot you sent does not provide any evidence of something going wrong. You don't even remember where the equity stop loss was set so I am not sure what am I supposed to check.

Hi alexnikon,

I had a look at the cBot and the indicator and I do not see anything wrong. But from what I understand you are comparing irrelevant information. You are opening trades in the middle of the daily bar based on the current state of the daily moving average but you compare the conditions with the indicator calculated using the finalized daily bar. This is wrong since the values of the finalized daily bar are different from the value of the indicator at the current moment the order was executed.
