Hi Nick,

Many brokers have price feeds for cryptocurreny pairs. We even have some on cTrader Public Beta. You can check them to see if they suit you.

Hi lec0456,

Chart.DrawText() draws on the main chart. IndicatorArea.DrawText() draws on the separate indicator area only if this exists. If the indicator is an overlay then it is ignored.

Hi AndreaDev,

Remove the following line from your indicator and it should work fine

NewOpen = CreateDataSeries();

Hi Ton,

As the message indicates, the issue is with the Take Profit. The Take Profit cannot be lower than the Symbol's decimal places. I guess that in this case Symbol.TickSize and Symbol.PipSize match therefore 0.1 pips is not a valid Take Profit value. Who is your broker?

Best Regards,

RE:

Great Paul,

I will research more,
The 2nd important thing to understand is if cTrader has access to BTC pricedata for proper backtesting? I tried asking this but it got ignored/misunderstood.

 "Does cTrader have access to market data for tickers BTCUSD from Coinbase/BitStamp or XBTUSD via Bitmex so proper backtesting can be performed."

Regards
Nick

Hi Nick.

I answered this question in my first reply. See below

"Thanks for posting in our forum. cTrader is a CFD trading platform therefore it does not have direct access to crypto exchanges. However there are several cTrader brokers that offer cryptocurrency CFDs via cTrader."

Since cTrader doesn't have direct access to crypto exchanges then it cannot have price data from them as well. However some brokers offer cryptocurrency pairs for trading through their own liquidity sources, therefore you might use their price feeds for testing.

Hi lw3010996,

Here is an example

        private bool showSMA;
        private int i;

        public int redPeriod = 12;
        [Output("Red SMA", LineColor = "Red", Thickness = 1)]

Hi jpwtrading,

You have a wrong bracket at line 65 and lots of missing brackets at the end.

Hi Adrian,

Thanks for posting in our forum. I am not sure what do you mean when you say start price. The target price is the price at which the pending order will be triggered. You can add a SL and TP on that order separately.

The broker-cTrader, as shown in my previous post. If this happens on FxPro, then FxPro-cTrader.

Hi Nick,

No it is not but I am not sure what do you expect to hear. You have asked if cTrader can send external email alerts and I said that this is possible. Here is how.

Hi lec0456,

For which symbol? Do other brokers have market sentiment for that symbol?

Hi lw3010996,

The reason you see nothing is because showSMA is always false.
